F Em7 Am
[Verse 1]
F
I was in the crowd
C7 Am
The day that Jesus died,
F G
And as He hung upon the cross,
Am7
His mother cried.
Dm7
I saw the crown of thorns He wore,
C
The stripes upon His back.
F Bb
The water and the blood ran out
E
And then the sky turned black.
[Verse 2]
F G
My mind was filled with anger,
Am
My heart was filled with shame,
F G
This man brought only healing.
Am7 C7
Who could bring Him pain?
Dm7
Why does it seem the strong
C
Always victimize the weak?
F Bb
And suddenly I found myself
E
Standing to my feet and I cried.
[Chorus]
Am G Am G Am
Who nailed Him there?
C G Am
This child of peace and mercy.
Am G Am G Am
Who nailed Him there?
C G Am
Come and face me like a man.
Am G Am G Am
Who nailed Him there?
C G Am
And the crowd began to mock me.
C
I cried, oh my God,
D E
I do not understand!
F G
Then I turned and saw the hammer
Am
In my hand!
[Verse 3]
F G
I am just a Roman soldier,
Am
An ordinary man;
F G
I love my wife and children,
Am7
I do the best I can,
Dm7
How could I have killed Him?
Em7
There must be someone else,
F G7
There's got to be an answer,
E
I just can't blame myself.
[Chorus]
Am G Am G Am
Who nailed Him there?
C G Am
This child of peace and mercy.
Am G Am G Am
Who nailed Him there?
C G Am
Come and face me like a man.
Am G Am G Am
Who nailed Him there?
C G Am
And the crowd began to mock me.
C
I cried, oh my God,
D E
I do not understand!
F G
Then I turned and saw the hammer
Am
In my hand!
[Chorus]
Bm A Bm A Bm
I nailed Him there,
D A Bm
The child of peace and mercy.
Bm A Bm A Bm
I nailed Him there,
D A Bm
I am the guilty man!
Bm A Bm A Bm
I nailed Him there
D A Bm
With my sins and my transgressions!
D
I cried, oh my God,
E F#
Now I understand!
G A
When I turned and saw the hammer...
Bm7
In my hand!
