He Was Nailed to the Cross for Me

What a won­der­ful

won­der­ful Sav­ior

Who would die on the cross for me!

Freely shed­ding His pre­cious life­blood

That the sin­ner might be made free.

He was nailed to the cross for me

He was nailed to the cross for me;

On the cross cru­ci­fied for me He died;

He was nailed to the cross for me.

Thus He left His heav­en­ly glo­ry

To ac­comp­lish His Fa­ther’s plan;

He was born of the vir­gin Ma­ry

Took upon Him the form of man.

He was wound­ed for our trans­gress­ions

And He car­ried our sor­rows

too;

He’s the heal­er of ev­ery sick­ness

This He came to the world to do.

So He gave His life for oth­ers

In re­deem­ing this world from sin

And He’s gone to pre­pare a man­sion

That at last we may en­ter in.
