It Wasn?t The Nails
by Gertrude Jefferies

It wasn't the nails that kept Jesus on the cross,
It wasn't the scourging or the thorns.
It wasn't the agony of Calvary's hill,
Or the weight of the cross that was borne.

It wasn't the taunts or the shame that He bore,
No, it wasn't any of these things.
It was Jesus doing his Father's will,
Dying, Salvation to bring.

It was Love beyond all understanding,
It was Grace offered to all mankind.
It was Peace such as the world could never give,
It was Mercy, which the world never could find.

For He is the Way, the Truth and the Life,
And He bought, with each step that He trod,
Redemption full and free to everyone,
Through Jesus Christ; The Gift of God.
