Verse
(C)
On the night Christ was born
Just (F)
before the break of morn,
As the (C)stars (G)
in the sky were (F)fa(C)ding,
O'er the place where He lay,
Fell a (F)shadow cold and (Dm)
gray
Of a (C)cross that would humble a (F)King.
Chorus
(C)Born to die upon (F)Calv'ry,
(F)Jesus suffered my sin to for(G)give;
(C)Born to die upon (F)Calv'ry,
He was (C)wounded that I might (F)live.
Verse
Jesus knew when He came
He would suffer in shame,
He could feel ev'ry pain and sorrow.
But He left Paradise,
With His blood He paid the price -
My redemption to Jesus I owe.
Verse
From His throne Jesus came,
Laid aside Heaven's fame
In exchange for the cross of Calv'ry;
For my gain suffered loss,
For my sin He bore the cross -
He was wounded and I was set free.
Verse
Dearest Lord, evermore
May Thy cross I adore
As I follow the path to Calv'ry;
Of Thy death I partake,
My ambition I forsake -
All my will I surrender to Thee.
Chorus
Born to die upon Calv'ry,
Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
Born to die upon Calv'ry,
He was wounded that I might live.
