Lyrics

The Sav­ior and the sin­ner meet
At the bless­èd cross of Cal­va­ry;
Just lay your sins at Je­sus’ feet;
There’s room at the cross for you.

Refrain

There’s room at the cross for you,
There’s room at the cross for you;
Make sur­ren­der full, com­plete,
Lay your sins at Je­sus’ feet;
There’s room at the cross for you.

Does not there come a sense of guilt?
And do you feel your­self con­demned?
For your re­demp­tion blood was spilt;
There’s room at the cross for you.

Refrain

O can’t you hear the Sav­ior’s call,
As there He hangs up­on the tree?
From off your heart He’ll lift sin’s pall;
There’s room at the cross for you.
