“Three Nails Set Us Free”
(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)
( Verse 1 )
On a hill so far away, the sky turned dark and gray,
A crown of thorns upon His brow, He chose to walk that way.
Every step was heavy with the weight of all our shame,
Yet He carried it with mercy, and He called us by our name.
( Chorus )
Three nails, they tore His hands and feet,
Three nails, love poured out so deep.
The blood that flowed was the price for you and me,
Oh, redemption came through three nails that set us free.
( Verse 2 )
The crowd was crying out, some mocked while others wept,
But He forgave them with His breath, the promise that He kept.
The earth began to tremble, the veil was torn in two,
What no one else could ever do, His love has done for you.
( Chorus )
Three nails, they tore His hands and feet,
Three nails, love poured out so deep.
The blood that flowed was the price for you and me,
Oh, redemption came through three nails that set us free.
( Bridge )
It should’ve been my cross, it should’ve been my grave,
But He bore it all instead, my soul was saved.
Grace unending, mercy flowing wide,
Three nails opened up eternal life.
( Chorus ) (repeat)
Three nails, they tore His hands and feet,
Three nails, love poured out so deep.
The blood that flowed was the price for you and me,
Oh, redemption came through three nails that set us free.
( Outro )
So I’ll cling to the cross on Calvary,
For the Son of God has ransomed me.
No greater love this world will ever see,
Than the three nails that set us free.
