It Wasn't The Nails

(الألبوم: It Remains To Be Seen... - 1993)

It wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross
He could have come down
But the whole world would be lost
The ransom was so high
Only He could pay the cost;
It wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross

Oh it wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross
He could have come down
But the whole world would be lost
The ransom was so high
Only He could pay the cost;
It wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross

He was wounded for our transgressions
Bruised for our iniquity
By His stripes we were healed
As He hung there at Calvary
He was lifted up from the earth
In order to draw all men;
It was love that held Him there
And that same love covers our sins

Oh it wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross
He could have come down
But the whole world would be lost
The ransom was so high
Only He could pay the cost;
It wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross

He was wounded for our transgressions
Bruised for our iniquity
By His stripes we were healed
As He hung there at Calvary
He was lifted up from the earth
In order to draw all men;
It was love that held Him there
And that same love covers our sins

Oh it wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross
He could have come down
But the whole world would be lost
The ransom was so high
Only He could pay the cost;
It wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross

For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
No greater love had been given to anyone
The Son gave His life for the taking by men;
He had the power to lay it down
He had the power to take it up again

Oh it wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross
He could have come down
But the whole world would be lost
The ransom was so high
Only He could pay the cost;
It wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross

Power

Power, power
