Two Nail Pierced Hands

TITLE: Two Nail-Pierced Hands VERSE 1 On a playground in the summer sun I was climbing way too high One more step and I'd be done Then I slipped and started to cry For a moment all I saw Was the ground rushing up too fast But mercy caught me in the fall And held me safe at last CHORUS Two nail-pierced hands Reached down for me When I was falling farther Than these eyes could see Two nail-pierced hands Never let me go Carried me through the darkness And gently brought me home When I lose my way When I don't understand I find my hope again In two nail-pierced hands VERSE 2 I was young and full of wonder Looking out a second-story view Leaning farther than I should've Trying to see what children do For a moment time stood still As I fell so helplessly But love was closer than I knew Reaching to rescue me CHORUS Two nail-pierced hands Reached down for me When I was falling farther Than these eyes could see Two nail-pierced hands Never let me go Carried me through the darkness And gently brought me home When I lose my way When I don't understand I find my hope again In two nail-pierced hands BRIDGE The hands that bore the rugged cross The hands that broke death's chains The hands that paid redemption's cost Still reach for us today The hands that formed the stars above The hands that calmed the sea Are the same two hands of endless love That reached so far for me FINAL CHORUS Two nail-pierced hands Reached down for me When I was falling farther Than these eyes could see Two nail-pierced hands Never let me go Carried me through the darkness And gently brought me home Through every fear and failure Through every broken plan I've been held together by Two nail-pierced hands When this world gives way And before Him I stand I'll see forever's answer In two nail-pierced hands Two nail-pierced hands...
