Lyrics: 
The angels stood in awe
At the sight they saw
The night You were betrayed
You could have saved yourself
But you held back the heavens
And let them carry You away

You laid Your kingdom down,
they handed you a crown Of thorns
You were torn, but cried let Your will be done

It wasn't nails that held You to the cross
It was love, it was love, it was Your love
You took our place, carried our guilt and shame
All for us, all for us, all for us
It wasn't nails that held You, it was love

To think You chose this cup
Knowing all that was to come
Oh the grace that poured from You

Before Your final breath
Through Your tears You said
"Forgive them, for they know not what they do."

You looked up to the sky
Let out a final cry
It is done!
Hope has won!
Lord, let Your kingdom come!

It wasn't nails that held You to the cross
It was love, it was love, it was Your love
You took our place, carried our guilt and shame
All for us, all for us, all for us
It wasn't nails that held You, it was love

It was you love, it was your love
Oh, it was your love!
