The love of our Savior
come down from heaven
the nails of his love
held him to the cross
Not the nails
driven by humans
held the Messiah
to the frame of the tree
Only God’s love
sending the Son
only his submission
becoming the one
The one priest, holy
able to offer
one offering for us
to heal us for all time
Bound for heaven
seated in glory
submit to the Father
turning over our will
Give to the Lord
as did our Savior
our path secure
when we follow our Lord

“It wasn’t nails, but love, that held Jesus to the Cross.
He nailed down our salvation for eternity.”
