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
