Driving Nails Lyrics

Driving Nails
[VERSE 1]
D G D
Since that blessed night in the manger she watched her baby grow.
D Bm Em A
Seems like yesterday he was in her arms; where did the time go?
D G D
He learned his father's trade as she marveled at it all
D Bm Em A D
Sweat dropped from her little carpenter s he made the timbers fall.
[CHORUS]
Bm G D
She can hear them driving nails upon the hillside.
Bm G A
And she prays that his spirit will not fail.

Bm G D G
She watches as her young man undertakes his Father's will...
Bm A D
As she stands and listens to the driving nails.
[VERSE 2]
D G D
In the streets of Jerusalem a child can disappear.
D Bm Em A
She was frantic as she looked for Him until she began to hear
D G D
Hammers up at the temple, She called him as she ran.
D Bm Em A D
So surprised, she found him teaching like no ordinary man.
[CHORUS]
[VERSE 3]
D G D
Darkness covered all the land in the middle of the day.
D Bm Em A
She began to tremble as the earth began to quake.
D G D
Hammers, nails, and timbers of the carpenter's trade
D Bm Em D
made the sound that pierced her soul as the cross was being raised
[CHORUS]
Bm A D D
yes she cries and listens to the driving........ nails.
