Ray Boltz - The Hammer Lyrics
The Hammer Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve MillikanI was in the crowdThe day that Jesus diedAnd as He hung upon the crossHis mother criedI saw the crown of thorns He woreThe stripes upon His backThe water and the blood ran outAnd then the sky turned blackMy mind was filled with angerMy heart was filled with shameThis man brought only healingWho could bring Him painWhy does it seem the strongAlways victimize the weakAnd suddenly I found myselfStanding to my feetCHORUS:And I cried,Who nailed Him there?This child of peace and mercyWho nailed Him there?Come and face me like a manWho nailed Him there?And the crowd began to mock meI cried, Oh my God,I do not understandThen I turned and saw the hammerIn my hand!I am just a Roman soldierAn ordinary manI love my wife and childrenI do the best I canHow could I have killed Him?It must be someone elseThere's got to be an answerI just can't blame myselfCHORUSI nailed Him thereThe child of peace and mercyI nailed Him thereI am the guilty manI nailed Him thereWith my sins and my transgressionsI cried, Oh my God,Now I understandWhen I turned and saw the hammer...In my hand!1989 Shepherd Boy MusicASCAP and SonWorshippersASCAP.
