Where The Nails Were - Sandi Patty

«Father, forgive them», I heard You faintly say

Still, in my heart I feel so guilty

I know the truth is the debt was mine to pay

How could it be right that it happened this way

A fallen and sinful life I was leading

Now, why is Your body torn and bleeding?

It should’ve been my hands where the nails were

It should’ve been

It should’ve been my feet where the nails were

It should’ve been

It should’ve been my side that was opened

My heart that was broken

It should’ve been my hands

It should’ve been my feet where the nails were

At times I am tempted to overlook Your grace

Thinking I’m worth the love You’ve given

I walk like I’m earning the right to run the race

Somehow forgetting You died in my place

Still isn’t long before I’ve stumbled

One look at the cross and I am humbled

It should’ve been my hands where the nails were

It should’ve been

It should’ve been my feet where the nails were

It should’ve been

It should’ve been my side that was opened

My heart that was broken

It should’ve been my hands

It should’ve been my feet

It should’ve been my hands where the nails were

It should’ve been

It should’ve been my feet where the nails were

It should’ve been

It should’ve been my side that was opened

My heart that was broken

But it was Your hands

Yes, it was Your feet

It was Your blessed hands

It was Your precious feet

It should’ve been my hands

It should’ve been my feet where the nails were
