4.4 / 5
Song updated, review now!
Verse 1

For thirty pieces of silver he was delivered by one of his own .
Two the old high priest for a journey that seemed oh so long .
But he spoke not a word and did what he was asked to do.Then
he laid down his life as a sacrifice for me and for you.

Chorus

But it wasn't the nails that the old roman soldiers drove through
his hand and his feet . And it wasn't the crown that they placed
on his head as a symbol of defeat. No it wasn't the spear that
they placed in his side there at calvary . It was love for man
kind that held jesus to the old rugged tree .

Verse 2

Now after it was finished the laid his body in a tomb and put a
stone in front of the door . They thought we won't ever have to
see this man anymore . Oh but on the third down an angel came
down and rolled the stone away. You see jesus had risen from
death's dark prison and he conquered death , hell , and the grave.

It was love for mankind that held jesus to the old rugged tree
