Hammer

<< - Показать версию без аккордов - >>

I was in the crowd the day that Jesus died
And as He hung upon the cross, His mother cried
I saw the crown of thorns He wore
The stripe upon His back
The water and the blood ran out
And then the sky turned black

My mind was filled with anger
My heart was filled with shame
This man brought only healing
Who could bring Him pain?
Why does it seem the strong always victimize the weak?
Suddenly I found myself, standing to my feet

And I cried
Who nailed Him there? This child of peace and mercy?
Who nailed Him there? Come and face me like a man
Who nailed Him there? Then the crowd began to mock me
I cried oh my God, I just don't understand
Then I turned and saw the hammer in my hand

I am just a Roman soldier, an ordinary man
I love my wife and children, I do the best I can
How could I have killed Him? There must be someone else
There's got to be an answer, I just can't blame myself

I nailed Him there, this child of peace and mercy
I nailed Him there, I am the guilty man
I nailed Him there, with my sins and my transgressions
I cried oh my God, now I understand
When I turned and saw the hammer in my hand
