it didn't end in darkness, on Friday...

Thank God for that blessing,
it didn't end in darkness, on Friday,
our story continued, Sunday came,
Light came, resurrection, victory…
 
Love climbed the rugged cross,
Love entered the tomb,
Love lay in silence on Saturday,
But Love rose again…
 
It didn't end in darkness, on Friday,
there is more to our story,
as the blood covered the Israelites,
Christ’s Love set us free…

A nail in my left hand

A nail in my left hand
the hammer in my right,
my sin drove the nails,

I swung the hammer – v2

I swung the hammer,
I held the mallet,
I wielded the sledge,
that drove the nails,
that crucified Christ…
 
I swung the sledge,
I drove the nails,
I thrust the daggers,
thick, heavy spikes,
that crucified Christ…
