Every Time He Drove A Nail
by Terry Terrell

Album: The Door

As a young man while still at home
Working at the family trade
He put aside some finished wood
His two calloused hands just made
As He reached to pick his hammer up
He turned a little pale
Oh, He had Calvary on his mind
Every time He drove a nail

Each time He walked past a hill
Big enough to hold a cross
He knew someday a borrowed tomb
Was the price my soul would cost
Still He worked at his Father's side
While the years lay unveiled
He thought of Calvary
Every time He drove a nail

He could feel the nails rip through his hands
As He brought the hammer down
He knew in a few short years
He would wear a thorn filled crown
When He thought about Gethsemane
He knew his friends would fail
Oh, He had Calvary on his mind
Every time He drove a nail

Each time He walked past a hill
Big enough to hold a cross
He knew someday a borrowed tomb
Was the price my soul would cost
Still He worked at his Father's side
While the years lay unveiled
He thought of Calvary
Every time He drove a nail

Now He's gone to His Father's side
Where His glory is unveiled
He thought of you and me
Every time He drove a nail
