	Story Behind the Song Was playing with the chord progession as it is in the song and liked it. The first line came along while I was playing and the rest of the song story unfolded in very short order....less than an hour. Many people and songs always sing of Calvary as a lonely place, which is true to the extent that it was only Christ who was crucified for our sins. As the first line came along, I played it and thought about Golgotha. A picture came to my mind of Jesus on the cross with all the people watching Him die and I realized that, NO, Calvary wasn't a lonely place at all, but a place where He was surrounded by thousands of people. Wherever Jesus went, there were thousands, like along the sea of Galilee or when He triumphantly entered Jerusalem for Passover. I believe God chose Passover time because more people gathered then and could witness His death for them on that Lyrics Calvary's Not A Lonely Place (Steve McNutt) V1 Up on the hill of Golgotha Is a place called Calvary Folks often think it's a lonely place But it's not, as you will see V2 For up on that hill long ago As the news spread far and wide An innocent man hung in pain Ruthlessly crucified Chorus: Calvary's not a lonely place For as the voices filled the air He hung in pain on that rugged cross And thousands of people were there V3 They taunted Him with laughter Pointed and called Him names Casting lots for His robe The sentries played their games V4 As you can see by the story Golgotha was the place to be If you wanted to be among people All needing to be set free Copyright 2002 Steve McNutt & Tim
