Today’s song focus :
He Was Nailed to the Cross for Me
Colossians 2:13-14 (NASB95)
“ When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your
flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our
transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees
against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having
nailed it to the cross..”
Born in 1856, Frederick A Graves was raised in a Christian family. His father passed away when he was 6 and his mother passed when he was 9, leaving him orphaned. While being raised by family friends, he was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 14. He left home at 21 and was a talented musician. He studied Bible and music in Chicago and Northfield, MA where he met his wife, Vina.. After hearing evangelist John A. Dowie, he experienced a permanent healing of his epilepsy which provided the backdrop for his writing over 43 hymns and gospel songs.
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
We need to wake up and thank Jesus for the sacrifice that He made for us. While there were physical nails used to hold His body on the cross, it was His love for us that held Him there. He loved us so much that He demonstrated it by spreading His arms wide. Thank You for the cross, Lord!

He was nailed to the cross for me
What a wonderful, wonderful Savior
Who would die on the cross for me
Freely shedding His precious lifeblood
Oh, that the sinner might be made free
He was nailed to the cross for me
He was nailed to the cross for me
On the cross crucified for me, oh, He died
He was nailed to the cross for me
You know He was wounded for our
Our transgressions, yes, He was
And He carried that day our sons
He carried our sons too, yes, He did
You know He’s the healer, thank God He is
For every, for every sickness
This He came to this world to do
Praise God, yes, yes He did
So He gave His life for others (oh, praise God, yes)
In Redeeming this whole world from sin (thank God)
And He’s gone to prepare a mansion (praise God, yes, He is)
That at last we may enter in (oh, thank the Lord)
He was nailed to the cross for me
He was nailed to the cross for me
On the cross crucified for me, yes, He died
He was nailed to the cross for me
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
On the cross crucified for me, He died
He was nailed to the cross for me
Thank You, Jesus
Thank You, Jesus
I want every thank You, Lord
That You was nailed to that cross for me
