A Cross and Three Nails

A cross in the sand, and Three nails
A nail in foot and one in each hand.
Thorns on his head,
His poor mother's face full of dread.

He died upon an old rugged cross 
On a place called Calvary,
He gave up his life
All that was done for the love for you and me.

Jesus Christ's love 
Is pure and true,
The ultimate gift of love
Was his life for me and you.

No one can laugh at what was done,
Jesus did this and still 
His love continues to go on.
When you feel like your life
is at a point you want to bail,
Think of the rugged cross and three nails.
