Thanks to Calvary (I don't live here anymore)

This song popped up in my music feed so I figured I’d share it as it’s been a while since I’ve heard this song and it is one I enjoy. Thanks to Calvary.

A Bill & Gloria Gaither song, I LOVE this song sung by good male voice. This is just one of many songs written by this duo. They became quite popular in the 1990’s with the series the Gaither Homecoming.

Lyrics

Today, I went down to the place where I used to go
Today, I saw the same old crowd I knew before
And when they asked me what had happened, I tried to tell them,
Thanks to Calvary, I don’t come here anymore.

Thanks to Calvary I am not the man (dad) I used to be
Thanks to Calvary things are different than before.
And as the tears ran down my face I tried to tell them (him)(her),
Thanks to Calvary, I don’t come (live) here anymore.

Then we went down to the house where we used to live,
My little boy (girl) ran behind the door, like so many times before;
And I said “Son (Honey) you don’t need to be afraid, you’ve got a new Daddy now,
(And I said, “Son (Honey) never fear, you’ve got a new Mommy here, )
Thanks to Calvary we don’t live here anymore.

Thanks to Calvary, we don’t live here anymore.
