Before the Hammers Could Ring - Gene Watson

Before the hammers could ring

His Blood touched the cross for me.

Before the hammers could strike the nails

that pinned Him to the tree.

Before the spear ever pierced His side

letting blood and water run free.

Before the hammers could ring

His blood touched the cross for me.

When sin was nailed thunder rolled,

the earth shook with fright.

Darkness fell as the Lamb of God

held Him tight.

Legions of angels and a host of heaven

stood by.

The law was fulfilled and a dark kingdom fled from the light.

Before the hammers could ring

His blood touched the cross for me.

Before the hammers could strike the nails

a crown of thorns made Him bleed.

And the stripes on His back

left a bloody trail

all the way to Calvary.

Before the hammers

could ring

His Blood touched the cross

for me.

When sin was nailed

thunder rolled, the earth shook

with fright.

Darkness fell as the Lamb of God

held Him tight.

Legions of angels

and a host of heaven stood by.

The law was fulfilled

and a dark kingdom fled from the light.

Before the hammers could ring

His blood touched the cross for me.
