[B]
[G#] [F#] [B]
Two thousand years ago, [E] outside the Eastern [B] [F#] Gate,
They led Jesus to Golgotha's hill, He went there in my [F#] place.
[E] Across His scarred and beaten back, [B] A world of sin [E] was tossed.
[B] They nailed Him to that rugged tree, [F#]
Where the [B] timbers cross.
[E] That old rugged hill became [B] a battlefield, [F#] Where the war for the souls of men [B] was fought.
[E] And as the battle raged, [B] Death, hell, and the grave they lost,
[B] And victory hung where [F#] the timbers crossed.
[B] The earth was black as midnight, [E] And beneath the [B] darkened sky,
Forsaken for a debt not His, Our Lord was [F#] crucified.
[E] And through His bitter anguish, [B] He counted not [E] the cost,
[B] He paid the price for you and me, [F#]
Where the [B] timbers crossed.
That [E] old rugged hill became [B] a battlefield, [F#] Where the war for the souls of men [B] was fought.

[B] And victory hung [F#] where the [B] timbers crossed.
Jesus shed His blood for you and me, [F#] Where the [B]
timbers crossed.
