Light and Life Songs No. 2 ‎#12

12. They are Nailed to the Cross

1 I was gloomy and sad,
Now my heart is free and glad;
Jesus has taken all my sins away;
I was weary and lone,
Now my sorrows all have flown;
I am rejoicing in his love today.

Chorus:
They are nailed to the cross, and I bear them no more;
Jesus has taken all my sins away;
Hallelujah I sing
To my Savior and King;
I am rejoicing in his love today.

2 Let the guilty all know
That for sinners here below
Jesus hath come, to set the captive free;
Tell the tidings around,
How God’s grace doth still abound,
Flowing in love for all humanity. [Chorus]

3 Hallelujah to God!
I am living ‘neath the blood,
Whereby my heart to God is reconciled;
I will laud and adore
His dear name forevermore—
Heir of his grace, my heav’nly Father’s child. [Chorus]
