VERSE

The day they crucified our Lord were you there?  Were you there?

Could you see beneath His pain and misery His love and care?  Were you there?

Did you ever consider why?  Why He stayed?  Why, Jesus, why?

Did you ever think He could be held by just three nails?  By just three nails?

REPEAT VERSE

It wasn't the nails.  It wasn't the soldiers standing by.

It wasn't the hate-filled crowd screaming out, "Crucify!"

It wasn't the tears falling down like rain from Mary's eyes.

He could have summoned legions of angels to save from above.

No, it wasn't the nails that held him on that cross.

It was love.  It was love.

So the next time you falter; the next time you fail,

Remember it wasn't the nails.

It wasn't the nails.

It wasn't the nails.

It was love.
