Before the Hammer Could Ring

guitar chords lyrics

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

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.
