THAT MAN OF CALVARY. by M. P. Ferguson — Lyrics
About THAT MAN OF CALVARY.
"That Man of Calvary" is a deeply moving devotional hymn that draws the choir and congregation into quiet reflection on the sacrifice of Jesus. With its gentle, steady melody, the song focuses our attention entirely on Christ's saving work, moving from the beauty of His divine nature to the profound gift of His life given for us. The recurring refrain—"That Man of Calvary, has won my heart from me"—feels like a personal confession of faith, making it a wonderful piece for moments of deep prayer.
In the choir loft, this piece shines during the solemn days of Lent and Holy Week, particularly on Good Friday. It also serves beautifully as a Communion meditation throughout the year. The verses unfold a story of grace, reminding us how Christ grants the sinner peace and the captive release. Singing these words in four-part harmony allows the choir to carry the congregation through a journey of gratitude, ending with the hopeful anticipation of meeting Him "some sweet day."
