Luke 23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Never did a King occupy such a gruesome throne as Jesus occupied that day!
It was a death that He went to willingly, humbly and expectantly - John 18:37; Mark 10:45; Phil. 2:5-8.
He occupied that throne for you!
At Calvary

Years I spent in vanity and pride, — Caring not my Lord was crucified, — Knowing not it was for me He died — On Calvary.
CHORUS:
Mercy there was great, and grace was free; — Pardon there was multiplied to me; — There my burdened soul found liberty — At Calvary.
By God’s Word at last my sin I learned; — Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned, — Till my guilty soul imploring turned — To Calvary.
Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus everything; — Now I gladly own Him as my King; — Now my raptured soul can only sing — Of Calvary!
Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan! — Oh, the grace that brought it down to man! — Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span — At Calvary!
William R. Newell, 1895
