The Hammer​

Sung by Ray Boltz


I was in the crowd the day that Jesus died,
As He hung upon the cross, His mother cried.
I saw the crown of thorns he wore, the stripes upon his back,
The water and the blood ran out, then the sky turned black.

My mind was filled with anger, my heart was filled with shame.
This man brought only healing; who could bring him pain?
Why does it seem the strong always victimize the weak?
Suddenly I found myself, standing to my feet.

And I cried:
"Who nailed him there? This child of peace and mercy?"
"Who nailed him there? Come and face me like a man."
"Who nailed him there?" Then the crowd began to mock me.
I cried "Oh my God, I just don't understand!"
Then I turned and saw the hammer in my hand.

I am just a Roman soldier, an ordinary man.
I love my wife and children, I do the best I can.
How could I have killed him? There must be someone else.
There's got to be an answer. I just can't blame myself.

"Who nailed him there? This child of peace and mercy?"
"Who nailed him there? Come and face me like a man."
"Who nailed him there?" Then the crowd began to mock me.
I cried "Oh my God, I just don't understand!"
Then I turned and saw the hammer in my hand.

"I nailed him there! This child of peace and mercy!"
"I nailed him there! I am the guilty man!"
"I nailed him there, with my sins and my transgressions!"
I cried "O my God, now I understand!'
When I turned and saw the hammer in my hand.

Surely this man was the Son of God!

That is so sad! It's hard to really understand the duration and amount of pain that Jesus went through to save us from ourselves. I can't imagine being the person that had to nail him to the cross. Thank you for sharing this with me.

I think we all nailed Him there.
