[Verse 1]

Where was the army of angels

When the crowd yelled out "Crucify"?

And how could a last breath be taken

By the One whose breath becomes life?

[Pre-Chorus]

All my guilt, all my shame

The nails that pierced You bore my name

The Father's face turned away

Nothing made sense that day

[Chorus]

But now, I see

It was Your love for me

Holding You on that tree

It wasn't the nails

[Verse 2]

You chose the death of a sinner

To give me the life of a saint

And You lеft the heights of the Hеavens

To show me the depths of Your grace

[Pre-Chorus]

You took my guilt, You took my shame

Now resurrection bares my name

By Your blood, I've been saved (I've been saved)

Nothing could stand in Your way

[Chorus]

Now, I see

It was Your love for me

Holding You on that tree

It wasn't the nails (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

'Cause with one word, You could've stopped the hurt

But it was Your love, Your grace, Your mercy

Holding You there

It wasn't the nails

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) It wasn't the nails

[Bridge]

No one could take what You chose to give

You gave Your life to save my soul

Freely, You died, so I could live

Jesus, You wanted me to know

It wasn't the nails (It was Your love, Your grace, Your mercy)

(Holding You there)

[Chorus]

Oh, now, I see (Now I see)

It was Your love for me (Your love for me)

Holding You on that tree

It wasn't the nails (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

'Cause with one word (With just one word)

You could've stopped the hurt (Stopped all the hurt)

But it was Your love, Your grace, Your mercy

Holding You there

It was always Your love, Your Grace, Your mercy

Nothing compares

It wasn't the nails

[Outro]

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) It wasn't the nails

No! (No!)

No! (No!)

It wasn't the nails
