The Mississippi Ma** Choir - It wasn't the nails lyrics

Chorus 1: It wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross He could have come down But the whole world would be lost The ransom was so high Only He could pay the cost; It wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross Chorus 2: Oh it wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross He could have come down But the whole world would be lost The ransom was so high Only He could pay the cost; It wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross Verse 1: He was wounded for our transgressions Bruised for our iniquity By His stripes we were healed As He hung there at Calvary He was lifted up from the earth In order to draw all men; It was love that held Him there And that same love covers our sins Chorus 2 Verse 1 Chorus 2 Verse 2: For God so loved the world That He gave His only Son No greater love had been given to anyone The Son gave His life for the taking by men; He had the power to lay it down He had the power to take it up again Chorus 2 Vamp 1: Power Vamp 2: Power, power
