Lord, I'll never forget the day, it's in my memory still
With a heavy load upon my back I struggled up that hill
And when I saw you hanging there. in my heart I knew
Because your blood was shed for me. I'd make it up to you
I'll make it up to you and I'll take up this cross of mine
I could never live up to you, and I'll never make up for lost time
But with Calvary behind me and Heaven in view
Because of the cross. I'll make it up to you
And when I think of days gone by my eyes well up with tears
And I think of all I could have done and all those wasted years
I haven't always done my best but there's one thing I know is true
That when I close my eyes in death I'll make it up to you
I'll make it up to you and I'll lay down this cross of mine
I could never live up to you. and I'll never make up for lost time
But with Calvary behind me and Heaven in view
Because of the cross, I'll make it up to you
With Calvary behind me and Heaven in view
Because of the cross. I'll make it up to you
Because of Your cross. I'll make it up to you
