Song lyrics to He was Nailed to the Cross for Me, written by F. A. Graves and sung widely in pentecostal and evangelical churches during the 20th Century
What a wonderful, wonderful Savior,
Who would die on the cross for me!
Freely shedding His precious lifeblood,
That the sinner might be made free.
He was nailed to the cross for me,
He was nailed to the cross for me;
On the cross crucified for me He died;
He was nailed to the cross for me.
Thus He left His heavenly glory,
To accomplish His Father’s plan;
He was born of the Virgin Mary,
Took upon Him the form of man.
He was nailed to the cross for me,
He was nailed to the cross for me;
On the cross crucified for me He died;
He was nailed to the cross for me.
He was wounded for our transgressions,
And He carried our sorrows, too;
He’s the Healer of every sickness,
This He came to the world to do.
He was nailed to the cross for me,
He was nailed to the cross for me;
On the cross crucified for me He died;
He was nailed to the cross for me.
So He gave His life for others
To Redeem this world from sin,
And He’s gone to prepare a mansion,
That at last we may enter in.
He was nailed to the cross for me,
He was nailed to the cross for me;
On the cross crucified for me He died;
He was nailed to the cross for me.
