Like a lamb to the slaughter, like a sheep before it's shearers.
From the manger to the grave, like a beggar, just a slave.
Born in poverty, died in cruelty, suffered agony just for you and me.
Tell me how much I owe, I want to repay.
(cho.)
Calvary, oh Calvary won't you please please speak to me,
Tell me how much I owe, I want to repay.
Then an echo rings clear, from the hills of old Judea,
Tell the lost, Tell the lost, Tell the lost.
If the hills could cry out, and the rocks could proclaim,
And the mountains could sing their glad refrain,
They'd say, Tell it, Declare it, Go sing it and share it.
Sacrifice, there is no price too great to repay.

ReplyDeleteI don't know who wrote it. I found it in my mom's old songbook that she typed up. She used to sing so she had her own song book. She is 87 years old now. It didn't say on the song who wrote it. I wish I could help. We used to sing it all the time.
