We've been singing this song in our evening services at church but until this past Sunday, I had been singing it wrong. In the third verse, there's a line that I've been singing as "The hand that healed nations stretched out on a tree...and took the nails for me."
Well, Jesus may have done that but that's not how the song was written. Here's the corrected words:
"The hand that healed nations stretched out on a tree...and took the nails FROM me."
You see, due to our sin, the nail was already on our hand and the executioner was mere seconds from striking it with his hammer. BUT...don't you love it when there's a "but" after a line like that?...Jesus comes along, says "No...NO!" He reaches down, helps you up off of your cross of condemnation and then He gets on it and says 'Those nails belong to me.'"
WOW!
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in union with the Messiah Jesus.
-Romans 8:1
