Because of one small nail our sins are forgiving if only, we believe in Jesus

Lyrics

One Small Nail

Well, the farmer had no money, so he tried to shoe his horse
One less nail and funny, he threw the shoe of course
And he had to plow his eighty, and he had to walk to town
Cause it was plain that the horse was lame, but the work would not slow down
So, he walked to town to barter with a dozen chicken eggs
Cause he needed salt and flour and he hoped to make a trade
He wore his soles out walking, stumbled and he fell
Cussed his self beneath his breathe all because of one small nail

Chorus:
Because of one small nail, because of one small nail
Because of one small nail, we try and yet we fail
Live until we die, everyday we try and try
Even though we try we sometimes fail, because of one small nail
Well, the teacher had a lesson, people couldn?t see
Said that he was messing with the minds of folks like me
He told of hope and glory and a place beside a throne
You could go if you know just believe and call it home
But they locked him up for saying, things he couldn?t prove
They had no easy answers and they knew not what to do
They came to take him over and they lead him from his jail
Tied his hands with a leather band in his feet they drive a nail

Chorus:
Because of one small nail, because of one small nail
Because of one small nail, we try and yet we fail
Live until we die, everyday we try and try
Even though we try we sometimes fail, because of one small nail

Well, the teacher hung there dying and he wept for all mankind
With his work and trying there were some that saw the sign
And he looked up into Heaven, til it came a raining hail
He cried and spoke, ?Don?t blame these folks all because of one small nail.?

Chorus:
Because of one small nail, because of one small nail
Because of one small nail, we try and yet we fail
Live until we die, everyday we try and try
Even though we try we sometimes fail, because of one small nail
