Three Nails

One in the left hand and one in the right

One in the feet- what a sickening sight

Three nails securing God to a tree

Sealing the source of all security

Forged in a fire by hands He created

For securing a sinner so hopelessly fated

Prepared for the purpose of piercing men's hands

Now pierce one who'd driven nails time and again!

Every sin is a nail, a hideous stake

Inflicted by men and forged for men's sake

Wounding the Lord in their iniquity

Forming wounds that will be seen for eternity!

Nails piercing hands that had helped and healed

Hands that drew in the dirt and a message revealed

A message for blind men to see and then weep

Piercing hands that woke dead men from their sleep

Biting flesh like the fruit Adam's teeth tore apart

Drawing the lifeblood that coursed from God's heart

Nails covered in blood that bought my salvation

Like pens dipped in red ink to write my redemption!

Like Aaron and Hur lifting Moses's arms to secure the victory

Three nails lift up the saviour of men for all men to see.

One in the left hand , one in the right

One in the feet what a sickening sight!

Three nails securing God to a tree

Sealing all mens destiny
