Cross and Nails
Separated from the Father
By the sin that Eden bore
We long to know
God's fellowship once more
Our purest offerings gained pardon
From the judgement we deserved
But Jesus knew His life alone
Could bridge heaven back on earth
He chose the cross and nails
So mercy could prevail
He knew His death would tear the veil
So we could know the heart of God
It took His sacrifice
To cover our sin, to save our lives
When love alone would surely fail
He chose the cross and nails
We no longer bring our offerings
To the temple and the priest
Though once bound to the law
We've been released
Grace and mercy are now flowing
Through the blood of calvary
Because our Lord left heaven's throne
To reach out for you and me
He chose the cross and nails
So mercy could prevail
He knew His death would tear the veil
So we could know the heart of God
It took His sacrifice
To cover our sin, to save our lives
When love alone would surely fail
He chose the cross and nails
He chose the cross and nails
So mercy could prevail
He knew His death would tear the veil
So we could know the heart of God
It took His sacrifice
To cover our sin, to save our lives
When love alone would surely fail
He chose the cross and nails
When love alone would surely fail
He chose the cross and nails
He chose the cross and nails
