Music and words by C. Austin Miles
They nailed my Lord upon the tree
And left Him, dying, there:
Through love He suffered there for me;
'Twas love beyond compare.
Crucified! Crucified!
And nailed upon the tree!
With pierced hands and feet and side!
For you! For me!
Upon His head a crown of thorns,
Upon His heart my shame;
For me He prayed, for me He died,
And, dying, spoke my name.
"Forgive them, O forgive!" He cried
Then bowed His sacred head;
"O Lamb of God! my sacrifice!"
For me Your blood was shed.
His voice I hear, His love I know;
I worship at His feet;
And kneeling there, at Calvary's cross,
Redemption is complete.
