I thought I had to see and feel To prove that what I loved was really real A passion turned to ashes things I held to dust I found reality in simple trust My faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary Oh blessed Rock of Ages cleft for me I gladly place my trust in things I can not see My faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary I tried to find lives mysteries Just by the reason of my mind to see But void remain between me and where I longed to be Till childlike faith there built a bridge for me And oh what joy to walk the way I followed nailed pierced footprints all the way Though the end of where I'm bound I may not see I choose to place my trust in Calvary My faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary Oh blessed Rock of Ages cleft for me I gladly place my trust in things I can not see My faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary My faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary
