Nails In Hand~Quatern

Jesus knew what He had to do,
To open the gates of Heaven.
Crucified on a wooden cross,
Enduring the harsh suffering.

He was whipped and stripped brutally,
Jesus knew what He had to do.
Soldiers mocked His glorious name,
They spat on the face of Our Lord.

Yet not once did Christ turn around,
But instead took and lived with pain.
Jesus knew what He had to do,
To save us from our sinful fate.

A crown of thorns, piercing His head,
As nails were hammered in His flesh.
Angels from above mourned and weeped,
Jesus knew what He had to do.
