   C
Before the hammers could strike the nails

      F                 C
That pinned Him to the tree

   C
Before the spear ever pierced His side

         D7                  G7
Letting blood and water run free

When sin was nailed

                                     C
Thunder rolled the earth shook with fright

 C                                         G7
Darkness fell as the Lamb of God held Him tight

 F                                           C
Legions of angels and a host of heaven stood by

     C
The law was fulfilled

                    G7            C
And a dark kingdom fled from the light

Before the hammers could strike the nails

All the way to Calvary
