CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION: THE POUNDING OF THE NAILS

THE POUNDING OF THE NAILS

Sunday morning rolled around,

And I was half asleep,

Unconcerned what day it was,

‘Til something made me weep.

The crucifixion story,

Came to life that day;

I witnessed in my mind’s eye,

The price Christ had to pay.

They laid Him down upon a cross,

His clothes already stripped,

A crown of thorns upon His head,

And stripes where He was whipped.

Then I heard an awful sound,

Along with Mary’s wails;

The sound that changed my life,

Was the pounding of the nails.

Church means so much more to me,

For when I miss I find,

The pounding of the nails,

Echoes through my mind.
