Lyrics
Up to the hill of Calvary
Refers to the journey Jesus took to Calvary, where he was crucified.
My Savior went courageously
Jesus went willingly and bravely to the cross.
And there he bled and died for me
He suffered and died as a sacrifice for the speaker.
Hallelujah for the cross
Celebrating and praising the significance of the cross as a symbol of salvation.
And on that day the world was changed
Describes how Jesus' sacrifice altered the world.
A final, perfect lamb was slain
Jesus, seen as the ultimate sacrificial lamb, was offered for redemption.
Let earth and heaven now proclaim
Calling for both the earthly and heavenly realms to acknowledge this event.
Hallelujah for the cross
Reiterating praise for the significance of the cross.
Hallelujah for the war He fought

Love has won, death has lost
Love triumphed over death through Jesus' sacrifice.
Hallelujah for the souls He bought

Hallelujah for the cross
Continued praise for the significance of the cross.
What good I've done could never save
Acknowledges personal inability to earn salvation through deeds.
My debt too great for deeds to pay
Recognition of an insurmountable debt paid by Jesus' sacrifice.
But God, my Savior, made a way
Jesus provided a path to salvation despite human inability.
Hallelujah for the cross
Emphasizes gratitude for the redemptive act of Jesus on the cross.
A slave to sin, my life was bound
Describes a previous state of being enslaved to sin.
But all my chains fell to the ground
Symbolic imagery of liberation from sin through Jesus' sacrifice.
When Jesus' blood came flowing down
Highlighting the cleansing power of Jesus' blood.

Repeatedly praising and exalting the significance of the cross.
And when I breathe my final breath
Assurance that in death, faith in the cross brings peace.
I'll have no need to fear that rest
Confidence that the hope in the cross will guide beyond death.
This hope will guide me into death
Continued celebration of the significance of the cross in overcoming death.
