Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I see You hanging on that tree
And I know it should have been me
Every wound, every cry
Still, You never turned Your eyes
(Pre-Chorus)
You could’ve left, You could’ve gone
But Love said, “No, this is where I belong”
(Chorus)
It wasn’t the nails that made You stay
Not the crown, not the crowd, not the price I’d pay
It was Your love that held You still
Your mercy stronger than the hill
You saw my face, You knew my name
And chose the cross, embraced the shame
It wasn’t the nails…
It was Your love for me
(Verse 2)
I’ve run from grace, I’ve tried to hide
But You’ve been waiting the whole time
Not for perfection, not for pride
But for surrender to collide
(Pre-Chorus)
You didn’t flinch, You didn’t fear
You whispered, “Child, I brought you here.”
(Chorus)
It wasn’t the nails that made You stay
Not the crown, not the crowd, not the price I’d pay
It was Your love that held You still
Your mercy stronger than the hill
You saw my face, You knew my name
And chose the cross, embraced the shame
It wasn’t the nails…
It was Your love for me
(Bridge)
You saw me hiding in my fear
Still, You came and drew me near
You saw the shame I couldn’t speak
Still, You washed my dirty feet
You knew the cost, and still You came
And whispered gently, “I’d take your blame”
You stayed for love, not duty’s call
You gave Your everything… You gave it all
(Final Chorus)
It wasn’t the nails that made You stay
Not my guilt, not my tears, not the words I’d pray
It was Your heart that wouldn’t move
A love so fierce, so kind, so true
You saw it all, my worst, my fall
Still, You chose to give Your all
It wasn’t the nails…
It was always Your love for me
(Outro)
It wasn’t the nails…
It wasn’t the nails…
It was Your love…
It was Your love for me.
