You took the nails

Inspired by Kari Jobe’s song “I’m Singing” from her album, Kari Jobe.

There are times when I look up and see a cross
Has it become to cliche’ for me to remember what you did
You looked at me with tears in your eyes
You told me the nails that they were driving into your hands were mine

I wanted to stop them, but you gently told me that it was for me
As I looked at the holes in your hands you told me that you took my nails
So that I could live with you forever, and have fellowship with you
You have given me life in exchange for death

You are there to hold my hand, and tell me it will be ok
The hands that hold me are the same ones I pierced
The God I’ve been wanting so badly, has been there all along
I sing this song because I love you, and am thankful for your sacrifice

There have been times when I like Thomas have doubted
The depths of your faithfulness, and the expanse of your love
Teach me not to doubt the one who took my nails for me
The one that has held my unformed body and created me in the secret place

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
