[Lyric] He Chose the Nails (Wes King)

A tool of torture becomes a sign of hope
The measure for the love of God
The intersection of eternity and time
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

The hand that held the hammer
Was the hand of God
The hand that took the nail
Was His only Son
The doors that heaven opened
As He opened up His hand
And it rained down mercy
And it rained down mercy

He built an altar to offer up His Son
How could this be the will of God?
Thе intervention from heavеn was a voice
Saying, "Though this someday must be done
Abraham, it will not be your son"
The hand that held the hammer
Was the hand of God
The hand that took the nail
Was His only Son
The doors that heaven opened
As He opened up His hand
And it rained down mercy
And it rained down mercy

He drank the cup and ripped the veil
When He chose the nails

The hand that held the hammer
Was the hand of God
The hand that took the nail
Was His only Son
The doors that heaven opened
As He opened up His hand
And it rained down mercy
It rained down mercy

The hand that held the hammer
Was the hand of God
The hand that took the nail
Was His only Son
The doors that heaven opened
As He opened up His hand
And it rained down mercy
And it rained down mercy
Oh, it rained down mercy
It rained down mercy
The hand that held the hammer
The hand that held the hammer
The hand that held the hammer
Was the hand of God
The hand that held the hammer
