What do you think kept Jesus up on the cross? For someone who had the power to stop everything that was going on, something else kept him up on the cross. This beautiful song says that it wasn't the nails.
Where was the army of angels
When the crowd yelled out crucify
And how could a last breath be taken
By the one who's breath becomes life
All my guilt
All my shame
The nails that pierced you bore my name
The fathers face
Turned away
Nothing made sense that day
But now I see
It was your love for me
Holding you on that tree
It wasn't the nails
You chose the death of a sinner
To give me the life of a saint
And you left the heights of the heavens
To show me the depths of your grace
You took my guilt
You took my shame
Now resurrection bears my name
By your blood
I've been saved
Nothing could stand in your way
Now I see
It was your love for me
Holding you on that tree
It wasn't the nails
Cause with one word
You could've stopped the hurt
But it was your love, your grace, your mercy
Holding you there
It wasn't the nails
It wasn't the nails
No one could take
What you chose to give
You gave your life to save my soul
Freely you died
So I could live
Jesus, you wanted me to know
It wasn't the nails
Oh, now I see
It was your love for me
Holding you on that tree
It wasn't the nails
Cause with one word
You could've stopped the hurt
But it was your love, your grace, your mercy
Holding you there
It was always your love, your grace, your mercy
Nothing compares
It wasn't the nails
It wasn't the nails

Back with another song from Matty Mullins. I now understand why his songs sound like metalcore tracks... It's because Matty Mullins is the vocalist for Memphis May Fire!
Just show me where to go.
I'm giving You control.
I'll follow where You lead.
I'm loving You because You first loved me.
On my knees I’m crying out for more of You & less of me.
This is how it's supposed to be & now I see it all so clearly. ♪ ♫ ♪
When I read the title, heard the intro and heard the singer's voice, I totally was ready for another rock/metalcore track. But man, what a lovely surprise this was.
I created you piece by piece.
I made you in my own image perfectly.
I see your face & don't regret a thing, so why would you?
There's not a thing about you I don't adore,
so I paid the price that you could never afford.
All I ask is that you trust me now & watch my plan unfold.
There is so much in store!
Hold on to me when you think you're sinking.
Run to me when it feels like you can't go on.
My dear, cry to me when life is unfair.
Your voice is the sweetest sound to my ear.
Just look to me when you can't see clearly.
Don't be afraid when you feel my spirit near.
My dear, be still & know that I am here.
I've always loved you & I always will.
...
Be still my love.
When it's too much to bear, know that I’ll always be there.
I hear you when you call my name.
I am the answer you've been searching for.
I'll be your refuge, your shelter from the storm.
I am everything you need & more.
I loved you before you were born!
