"Tougher Than Nails" lyrics

The hammer couldn't do it
The spike just made Him bleed
Hanging on a tree
They couldn't break His spirit
They could only break His bones
But little did they know

Hate seized the day, but it didn't prevail
His was the victory when He tore the veil
He came in forgiveness
Preaching grace
His love was stronger, and tougher than nails

Pilate couldn't do it
Nor could the Pharisees
Deny the prophecy
They mocked Him with the crown
And marched him up the hill
To do His Father's will

Hate seized the day, but it didn't prevail
His was the victory when He tore the veil
He came in forgiveness
Preaching grace
His love was stronger, and tougher than nails

The grave couldn't hold Him (grave couldn't hold Him)
He got up from the tomb like He said He'd do
Rising and renewing (rising and renewing)
He didn't leave no doubt what His message was about

Hate seized the day, but it didn't prevail
His was the victory when He tore the veil
He came in forgiveness
Preaching grace
His love was stronger, and tougher than nails
His love was stronger, and tougher than nails
