My Name Was On the Hammer

My name was on the hammer My guilt was on the nails My sins were upon His back Weighed in God's justice scales The hammer was used to drive Nails through His hands and feet Hanged as a criminal The Savior they did mistreat My sin had a penalty That I was unable to pay Jesus paid the debt for me On the cross He chose to stay The harsh penalty of sin Is eternal misery Jesus suffered on the cross So I could claim victory Jesus cried out forsaken Calling His Father's name God could not look upon Him As He bore my sin and shame On the cross Jesus suffered To pay a debt He did not owe As the soldier pierced His side Blood and water did flow His torment almost over It is finished He cried in pain His spirit then left Him The ground His blood did stain Of nothing was He guilty By my sins He was stained While hanging on the cross My penalty He sustained My sins were upon His back Weighed in God's justice scales My name was on the hammer My guilt was on the nails
