Story Behind The Song

Driving down the country back road I saw a sign on the back of a barn "Jesus Never Fails". I drove with my left hand, had the song nearly complete when I reached my destination 12 miles later.

Song Description

The stone, sword or nails, nothing could deter Jesus from making that way to heaven. From the moment of his birth long ago prophesied, the world was changed. He lived without sin and bore sorrow and burdens for uncounted troubled souls, even a world of sin on his shoulders and heart. He wrestled with the devil, would not be tempted but still talked of salvation, knowing its fulfillment would be the worst for him in his humanity. This song tells us that even in the darkest hour, Jesus Never Fails.

V1- A lowly manger birth turned this world around

He walked the narrow road
with a world of sin to bear
and we praise Him, 'cause

He paved the road to heaven with the stone the sword the nails.
Through it all
Jesus Never Fails

V2- Looked evil in the eye, still He spoke of love
and salvation
He knew the final cost of bringing in the lost
souls and nations

Channel- Loved and worshipped so
He walked the narrow road
with a world of sin to bear
and we praise Him, 'cause

Jesus Never Fails, in the darkest hour
He paved the road to heaven with the stone the sword the nails
Through it all
Jesus Never Fails
