Love Instead of Nails
Driven by more than a Roman soldier to do his father's will
Bearing more than just a rugged cross up Calvary's hill
Leaving a trail of blood sweat and tears along the way
And on the cross it took much more than nails to make him stay
It was love instead of nails that held him to the tree
'Cause nothing else could hold him but love for you and me
He could have called his angels to come and take him home
But love instead of nails kept him hangin' on
From his nail pierced feet and hands the blood began to flow
Sinless blood fell in the dust where sinners stood below
And on the cross there our only hope was hangin' on
And the only thing that held him there till every drop was gone
It was love instead of nails that held him to the tree
'Cause nothing else could hold him but love for you and me
He could have called his angels to come and take him home
But love instead of nails kept him hangin' on
It was love instead of nails that kept him hangin' on
Bearing more than just a rugged cross up Calvary's hill
Leaving a trail of blood sweat and tears along the way
And on the cross it took much more than nails to make him stay
It was love instead of nails that held him to the tree
'Cause nothing else could hold him but love for you and me
He could have called his angels to come and take him home
But love instead of nails kept him hangin' on
From his nail pierced feet and hands the blood began to flow
Sinless blood fell in the dust where sinners stood below
And on the cross there our only hope was hangin' on
And the only thing that held him there till every drop was gone
It was love instead of nails that held him to the tree
'Cause nothing else could hold him but love for you and me
He could have called his angels to come and take him home
But love instead of nails kept him hangin' on
It was love instead of nails that kept him hangin' on
