Flesh and Nails

Through tortured pain you showed your love With outstretched arms from above You granted forgiveness through your word For every sinner your cry was heard Three nails held you on the cross for me Where a sinners life was supposed to be Your blood did run through heavens tears As you begged forgiveness to save me here Those were my nails that saved my soul Those were my thorns that made me whole Those were my tears in your eyes That was my cross where they heard your cries You took the place that was meant for me Through flesh and nails you set me free Through your words my heart has grown As I wait for you to lead me home I give you my love for all you gave And give you my soul for the life you saved Those were my nails that saved my soul Those were my thorns that made me whole Those were my tears in your eyes That was my cross where they heard your cries You took the place that was meant for me Through flesh and nails you set me free
