Lord Was It Me

1. Lord, Was It Me that caused you to leave
The splendor of Heaven and your Father’s pure love?
To come down to earth, a meek humble birth,
To die at the hands of the ones you died for.
(chorus)
Was it my guilty hands that hammered the nails?
I who stood by as you suffered and died?
There’s no great love and no other blood
Than your precious blood that covered my sin.
2. I wasn't there when you hung in the air between Earth and Heaven so I could be free.
You gave your life, it wasn't man's might, but my sins that held you there and your love for me.
3. Friend was it you? Are you guilty too? of piercing his side and mocking his name
Did he bear your sins as you crucified him?
Jesus forgives us, for that's why he came.
(chorus)
Was it my guilty hands that hammered the nails?
I who stood by as you suffered and died?
There’s no great love, and no other blood
Than your precious blood that covered my sins.
Was it my guilty hands that hammered the nails?
