Lyrics

Verse
It sat inside the mine,
hidden within the walls,
Waiting in the darkness,
for the hammers to fall
Was it a prisoner or slave
who removed it from the earth
Did they treat it as a blessing
or see it as a holy curse?

Pre-Chorus
In this moment it was nothing,
until all it knew was lost
Then it became the mighty instrument
That held Jesus to the cross

Chorus
It was forged through the fire
Till it became what it should be
Transforming ore into iron
It became a nail
that went down,
in history.

Verse
It’s purpose was a mystery
Until it was covered with the blood
Ran through a mighty hand
By the will of God from above

Bridge
Did the nail cry out in pain
when hammered once again
Knowing it was holding
The hands of the
Great I Am

Chorus
It was forged through the fire
Till it became what it should be
Transforming ore into iron
It became a nail
that went down,
in history.

Transform me Lord,
Till I'm all that I should be.
