One nail was all it took,
to crucify Christ that day
it started with just one nail
for the crowd to get their way.
One blow upon that nail,
got the crowd to cheer and yell
“Crucify Him, Crucify Him”
put the hammer to that nail.
One nail was all it took,
for them to secure His fate
one large, iron nail became
the spike of their distaste.
One bang upon that nail,
their voices swelled and soared
“Crucify Him, Crucify Him”
as they began to nail the Lord.
One nail was all it took,
though they used all three
but, it started with that one nail
so all sinners could go free.
All it took was that first nail,
for the crowd to be satisfied
just one strike upon that nail . . .
and our Savior they crucified!
~~~~~~~
“And they cried out again, Crucify him.”
Then Pilate said unto them,
Why, what evil hath he done?
” And they cried out the more exceedingly,
Crucify him.”
