Three Rusty Nails Lyrics

Two thousand years ago you sent your son
You wanted us to understand
That who so ever would believe in him
Would be safe in his hands
(Chorus)
With three rusty nails and an old dogwood tree
The sacrifice was made for you and me
We were afraid to say that he was the one
What have we done to your son
Oh how it hurts when someone laughs at you
Their words can cut you like a knife
Just think of all the shame we put him through
Guess he gave more than his life
(Chorus)
With three rusty nails and an old dogwood tree

The sacrifice was made for you and me
We were afraid to say that he was the one
What have we done to your son
Oh how it hurts when someone laughs at you
Their words can cut you like a knife
Just think of all the shame we put him through
Guess he gave more than his life
Well we know not what we do
We know not what we say
We`ll never know the price he paid to take our sins away
(Chorus)
With three rusty nails and an old dogwood tree
The sacrifice was made for you and me
We were afraid to say that he was the one
What have we done to your son
Oh how it hurts when someone laughs at you
Their words can cut you like a knife
Just think of all the shame we put him through
Guess he gave more than his life
