I Feel Each Day He Died

"I Feel Each Day He Died"

************************

The soldiers came to take our Jesus.

While kneeling in the garden to pray,

putting chains on him ,they beat him,

as the soldiers led him away.

Beat Him with thorns upon His head.

Cursed, as they spit into His face.

With just a loin cloth on His body ,

how could He take all this disgrace.

Put before His people to be sentenced,

given a choice for Him to live or die.

All that was heard from everyone there,

was the screams for them to crucify.

They put a cross upon His back to carry.

Down through the city to Calvary,

there upon the cross He was to die,

to bare the sins of you and I.

Many nights I lay there in my warm bed,

hear the hammering of the nail.

Does He feel the spear as it enters His side?

Tell me Lord, Where did we all fail?

There's no way we can be perfect.

But at least we can all try.

Maybe a better chance for Heaven

We may get on the day we die.

Does He Still Feel The Nails

************

Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz

and Steve Millikan

They tell me Jesus died
For my transgressions
And that He paid that price
A long long time ago
When He gave His life for me
On a hill called Calvary
But there's something else
I want to know

CHORUS
Does He still feel the nails
Every time I fail?
Does He hear the crowd cry,
Crucify, again?
Am I causing Him pain?
Then I know I've got to change
I just can't bear the thought
Of hurting Him

It seems that I'm so good
At breaking promises
And I treat His precious grace
So carelessly
But each time He forgives
What if He relives
The agony He felt on that tree?

CHORUS

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord

Do you still feel the nails
Every time I fail?
Have I crucified you, Jesus,
With my sin?
I'm tired of playing games
I really want to change
I never want to hurt You again

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
