Three Rusty Nails - Second Chance Bluegrass

[user36574]

With three rusty nails they nailed Jesus to the cross
and the sun turned to darkness on that day
It was the day Jesus died as the blood flowed from his side
It was the blood that washed my sins away

Three Rusty Nails - Second Chance Bluegrass

WITH THREE RUSTY NAILS
THEY NAILED JESUS TO THE CROSS
AND THE SUN TURNED TO DARKNESS ON THAT DAY.
IT WAS THE DAY THAT JESUS DIED
AND THE BLOOD FLOWED FROM HIS SIDE,
IT WAS THE BLOOD THAT WASHED MY SINS AWAY
.
THIS IS A STORY OF LONG AGO ABOUT
A MAN WHO OWNED A LITTLE STORE,
HE SAID "I WAS MIGHTY PROUD TO
HAVE MY NAME UP OVER THE DOOR,"
"THIS WAS SOME TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO,
AS I RECALL,"
THE STORE WAS LOCATED IN JERUSALEM
ACROSS THE STREET FROM PILATE'S HALL,
HE SAID I HAD EVERYTHING
I WOULD EVER NEED;
FOLKS COME FROM MILES AWAY,
REGARDLESS OF THEIR CREED,
AND THE ONLY THING I HAD
THAT I THOUGHT I W0ULD NEVER SELL,
WAS IN A CORNER, ON A SHELF,
THREE OLD RUSTY SPIKE NAILS;
THEN ONE DAY A BIG
ROMAN SOLDIER CAME THROUGH THE DOOR,
AND AS HE WALKED TO ME,
IT SEEMED HE SHOOK THE FLOOR,
"CAN I HELP YOU SIR?" I SAID,
IN A VOICE THAT SEEMED FRAIL.
HE JUST LOOKED AT ME WITH A
SNEERING GRIN AND SAID'
"YES I WANT TO BUY SOME BIG, BIG NAILS."
THREE OLD RUSTY SPIKES IS ALL I HAVE SIR
HE SAID "FOR ME THAT'LL D0,
FOR THE JOB I HAVE THREE'S ENOUGH
NOW HOW MUCH DO I OWE YOU?"
AND AS HE PLACED THE MONEY IN MY HAND,
I WAS GLAD TO MAKE THE SALE
AND I ASK HIM, "SIR WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH
THREE OLD RUSTY SPIKE NAILS?."
HE SAID "YOU'VE HEARD OF A MAN
NAMED JESUS THE NAZARENE?"
I SAID "OH YES THAT'S THE MAN"
HE SAID "WELL TODAY I INTEND
TO SHOW THE WORLD WHO'S BOSS,
WITH THESE THREE OLD RUSTY SPIKE NAILS
I'M GOING TO NAIL JESUS TO THE CROSS",
I STOOD THERE ALMOST NUMB ,
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW HOW I FELT,
I SAID "PLEASE SIR, DON'T DO THAT !"
AS DOWN ON MY KNEES I KNELLED,
HE JUST TURNED AWAY,
I GOT UP AND FOLLOWED HIM
I SAID, "PLEASE SIR, I'LL BUY THEM BACK!"
HE JUST LOOKED AT ME AND GRINNED.
AND ACROSS THE DISTANCE
I COULD SEE THE HOWLING MOB
THROUGH THE TEARS THAT FILLED MY EYES.
"AWAY WITH HIM' "CRUCIFY HIM!"
I COULD HEAR THEIR ANGRY CRIES,
AND OVER ALLTHE GROANS
AND THE PAINS OF AGONY,
I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF
THE HAMMER AS THE BIG
ROMAN SOLDIER NAILED JESUS TO THE CROSS.

WITH THREE RUSTY NAILS
THEY NAILED JESUS TO THE CROSS
AND THE SUN TURNED TO DARKNESS ON THAT DAY.
IT WAS THE DAY THAT JESUS DIED
AND THE BLOOD FLOWED FROM HIS SIDE,
IT WAS THE BLOOD THAT WASHED MY SINS AWAY.

IT WAS THE BLOOD THAT WASHED MY SINS AWAY.
