I saw You in the garden You were praying You were crying
And when the mob came oh I was afraid of dying
So I ran, ran, ran
My soul is willing but my heart is weak
And with my eyes wide open I could barely even see
So I ran, ran, ran
And to the Man with the bloodied hands
I'll admit that I'm just the hammer and the nail
You let me pin You down
Well here I am muttering a prayer
Hope when I die
That I'm more than a hammer and a nail
You lived so patiently
I know You've always been patient with me
I'm sorry that i let You down
'Cause I've always been a fool
Well I'm a cheat, a liar too
I'm sorry that I let You down
And to the Man with the bloodied hands
I'll admit that I'm just the hammer and the nail
You let me pin You down
Well here I am muttering a prayer
Hope when I die
That I'm more than a hammer and a nail
