The hammer couldn't do it
The spike just made him bleed
Hanging on a tree
They couldn't break his spirit
They could only break his bones
But little did they know
Hate seized the day but it didn't prevail
His was the victory when he tore the veil
He came in forgiveness Preaching grace
His love was stronger and tougher than nails
Pilate couldn't do it
Nor could the pharisees deny the prophecy
They mocked him with the crown
And marched him up a hill
To do his father's will
Hate seized the day but it didn't prevail
His was the victory when he tore the veil
He came in forgiveness preaching grace
His love was stronger and tougher than nails
The grave couldn't hold him(grave couldn't hold him)
He got up from the tomb like he said he'd do
Rising and renewing(rising and renewing)
He didn't leave no doubt what his message was about
Hate seized the day but it didn't prevail
His was the victory when he tore the veil
He came in forgiveness preaching grace
His love was stronger and tougher than nails
His love was stronger and tougher than nails
