242. He Was Nailed to the Cross

1 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.

2 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. [Refrain]

3 He was wounded for our transgressions,
And He carried our sorrows, too;
He’s the Healer of ev’ry sickness,
This He came to the world to do. [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]
