Nailed to the Cross (EN 5275)

1

There was One Who was willing to die in my stead,

That a soul so unworthy might live;

And the path to the cross He was willing to tread,

All the sins of my life to forgive.

They are nailed to the cross,

O how much He was willing to bear!

With what anguish and loss Jesus went to the cross!

But He carried my sins with Him there.

2

He is tender and loving and patient with me,

While He cleanses my heart of the dross;

But “there’s no condemnation”—I know I am free,

For my sins are all nailed to the cross.

3

I will cling to my Savior and never depart—

I will joyfully journey each day,

With a song on my lips and a song in my heart,

That my sins have been taken away.
