At Calvary Christian Background Music History in short.

The story behind the hymn began when Dr. R.A. Torrey was president of Moody Bible Institute. Here is the story as told by Dr. Torrey. “When I was president of the Moody Bible Institute I received a letter from a very concerned pastor who told me of a son who was causing himself and his family a great deal of trouble. His life was really mixed up. And the father felt that attendance at Moody would help. I advised the father that even though I sympathized with him for I was a father; yet because I was running a Bible school and not a reform school I had to deny his request.

After many letters of pleading his cause I finally gave in with the stipulation that the rebellious teen must see me each day and make every effort to abide by the rules and requirements of the Institute.” Torrey went on to say that the boy faithfully visited his office each day; and with wisdom from God’s word he answered the questions that had been keeping the boy from God. Finally after many months of counseling the prayers of the boy’s father were answered when young William R. Newell received Christ as his personal Savior.

Thirty years later as a teacher at Moody Mr. Newell was recounting those turbulent years as a rebellious teen; and as he was rejoicing in his salvation the words of a poem flooded his mind. His mind was filled with a word picture of what had happened in his life and also in the lives of all those who surrender to Christ. The new man in Christ could now write these words that have spoken to many for over a century.

1. Years I spent in vanity and pride
Caring not my Lord was crucified
Knowing not it was for me He died on Calvary.

Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty at Calvary.

Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned
Till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary.

• Easy Worship. Obviously, like it’s name, it is very easy to use. However because of the ease of use there are limitations. Therefore it is good for someone starting out.
