The Three Nails

With three rusty nails, they nailed Jesus to the tree
The sky turned to darkness on that day
It was the day that Jesus died
The blood flowed down His side
It was the blood that washed my sins away (ooh)

There was a man who owned a store in old city Jerusalem, about 2000 years ago
And the story I recall, his store was just across the street from Pilates home (ooh)
He tried to carry everything that the people might need
But one day a Roman soldier came in with a plead (oh)
"Do you have any big nails?"
The store owner replied with a voice so frail, "No sir" (oh)
But I think I have three old rusty spikes, you can have them, if you like (oh)

By the way sir, what are you planning on doing with those three nails?
The Roman soldier said, "Have you heard about that troublemaker
That man they call Jesus the Nazareth?"
Today we're gonna show Him who's boss
And nail His hands and feet to a cross
The store owner fell down in front of the Roman soldier
And said, "Please sir, don't do that

You see, I love that man they call Jesus"
At about that time, there was a howling mob out in front of the store
And in the midst, was Jesus dragging His cross
He followed the crowds outside the walls of old Jerusalem
And he saw that same Roman soldier pierce the hands and feet of the Lord Jesus

With three rusty nails, they nailed Jesus to the tree
The sky turned to darkness on that day
It was the day that Jesus died
The blood flowed down His side
It was the blood that washed my sins away
