Three Nails and a Cross

[Verse 1]

He was sitting on the front porch of a half-way house

Chaining cigarettes and drinking coffee

I was walking by on my way home

Stopped and said, hello, how are ya

He looked at me and said, I've seen better days

I looked at him and said, there's a better way

Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness

Just like you, I was lost, and that's hell to have to live with

I've sat on that front porch where you're sitting now

I kept looking deep inside till I figured out

Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness

She was sitting on her bed crying crocodiles

Sixteen ain't a good age to be pregnant

And she thinks mom and dad won't love her anymore

Like the boy who swore he always would, but doesn't

She turns and sees that Bible laying by her bed

And she crumbles to her knees as she bows her head

Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness

Lord, help me 'cause I'm lost, and that's hell to have to live with

I need you more than ever now, without a doubt

I've made a big mistake, can you help me out?

Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness

Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness
