Before the hammers could ring,
his blood
touched the cross for me.
Before the hammers could strike the
nails that pinned him to the tree.
Before the spear ever pierced his side,
letting blood and water run free.
Before the hammers could bring
his blood,
touched the cross for me.
When sin was nailed,
thunder rolled,
the earth shook with fright.
Darkness fell as the Lamb of God held him tight.
Legions of angels and the
hosts of heaven stood by.
The law was fulfilled as the dark kingdom fled from the light.
Before the hammers struck the nails,
a crown of thorns made him bleed.
And the stripes on his back
led a
bloody trail all the way to Calvary.
Before the hammers could bring his blood,
touched the cross for me.
When sin was nailed,
thunder rolled,
the earth shook with fright.
Darkness fell as the Lamb of God
held him tight.
Legions of angels and the hosts of heaven stood by.
The law
was fulfilled as the dark kingdom fled from the light.
Before the hammers could ring,
his blood touched the cross for me.
