Three Nails and One Cross

Three nails, one cross,
Your life said to be lost
Love pouring down from Your brow
And all I can say is how?

How can you die for a sinner like me?
I don't even know who I'm supposed to be!
Yet You, the Son of God, lost Your life for mine to gain
You endured all that suffering, all that pain

Forgiveness You breathed on those who drove the nails in
Forgiveness You poured out on me and my sin

I used to look in the mirror at a lamb who was lost
And now I look in the mirror at a lamb who is washed

Washed in the cleansing flow of God's eternal love
from three nails, one cross,
And Your life that was said to be lost!
