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.

Refrain
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.
