Christian Hymns ‎#106

106. Nailed to the Cross

1 There was One who was willing to die in my stead,
That a soul, so unworthy might live,
And the path to the cross he was willing to tread,
All the sins of my life to forgive.

Chorus:
They are nailed to the cross,
They are nailed to the cross,
O how much he was willing to bear,
With what anguish and loss,
Jesus went to the cross!
And he carried my sins with him there!

2 He is tender and loving and patient with me,
While he cleanses my heart of its dross,
But "there's no condemnation"--I know I am free,
For my sins are all nailed to the cross. [Chorus]

3 I will cling to my Saviour and never depart--
I will joyfully journey each day,
With a song on my lips and a song in my heart,
That my sins have been taken away. [Chorus]
