Lyrics

G
They call it the place, the place of the skull

C G
Where the cold winds blow

C G
They crucify them on a cross

C Em
Breaking their bones

Em Am
On a hill called Golgotha

D
On a hill called Golgotha

G C G
Some people watched, others mocked, while others sneered

C G C
They hurled their insults, they spit on him and one threw a

Em
spear


Em Am
On a hill called Golgotha

D
On a hill called Golgotha


Am C D
The Lord He could have sent angels

Am C D
To save His one and only Son

Am C D
But His love was so amazing

Am C Em
He held His angels, He held them back

Em Am D
He held His angels back, He held His angels back


Am C D
What are you gonna do with Jesus

Am C D
I hope my friend your not that proud

Am C D
Cause one of these days the skies will open

Am C Em
And every knee, every knee will bow

Dm Am D
Every tongue will confess and every knee will bow


G
They call it the place, the place of the skull

C G
But Jesus conquered all

C G
So lets be joyful, lets rejoice

C Em
Rejoice forevermore

Am
For a hill called Golgotha

Am D
For a hill called Golgotha

D Am C
For a hill called Golgotha

D Am C D
Golgotha, so many sins on Golgotha, Golgotha

D Am C
He died for our sins on Golgotha

D
Golgotha




A Tom Petty style of song writing, and a very cool original. Hi 5 on this record. Good job my brother.

Ok New tone here Fresh, good! Nice guitar Too!

A cool rendition of Mel Gibon's The Passion of the Christ.

Like the intro and the vocal effect in the beginning. I like the hook on the electric guitar - good job. I think this song has great potential. The lyrics are great - the chorus has a great hook.

Sincere song that moves along. Nice combination of guitar and banjo

Here's a great song about Jesus' suffering and death on Golgotha. Randal Dunkle writes about things that no one else writes about, and does a great job of telling the story of Jesus in an original way. He takes scripture and weaves it into a rhyming story using original lyrics and rhymes. The song has an evangelistic thrust, urging the listener to trust Jesus as Savior. Nice instrumentation.
