Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie"
until you can find a rock. -Will Rogers
Paul Slopak, Jr.
You wanted us to understand
That who so ever would believe in him
Would be safe in his hands
(Chours) With three rusty nails and an old dogwood tree
The sacrifice was made for you and me
We were afraid to say that he was the one
What have we done to your son
Oh how it hurts when someone laughs at you
Their words can cut you like a knife
Just think of all the shame we put him through
Guess he gave more than his life
(Chours)
Well we know not what we do
We know not what we say
We'll never know the price he paid to take our sins away
(Chours)
With three rusty nails and an old dogwood tree

The people / who knew Him / liked Him just fine
Not knowing / this same Man made / the moon and stars shine
They thought Him / so simple / just a carpenter's son
They couldn't see / the miracle / Jesus would become
CHORUS
For He used three rusty nails// and two pieces of wood
To build / one bridge up to Heaven
This carpenter's son / He was God's chosen One
Building / salvation / for me
He stood in / the temple / preaching the Word
But they / wouldn't listen / to the voice that they heard
They chose to / reject one / so common as He
Never knowing / the work He's do / on Calvary's tree
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh, in / the cross / in / the cross
He was building / salvation / for me

The first verse is "He came from Gallilee, a carpenter by trade"
Thanks again, I sure appreciate it.

This is not the one that you are looking for, but I thought I would
share my memory of JD Sumner and the Stamps doing the recitation of "The
Three Rusty Nails" about 35 years ago. As I read those lines, I could
picture JD speaking them in his low slow voice. It really touched me
then, and it did again just now. Wow, what an Easter Story.

Life is God's open book test. In order to pass,
you must open His book to find the answers.

Three Rusty Nails
He came from Galilee, Carpenter by trade
Came to build His Father's church on plans they had made
His destiny was Calvary, His mission would not fail
He would build this church on a rugged cross
With three rusty nails.
Chorus
This church is still standing and it will never fall
Blood stained its foundation and faith put up its walls
Though the world may come against it
They will not prevail
He built this church on a rugged cross
And three rusty nails.
Bricks and stones themselves alone
Aren't everything it takes
To build a church that will stand so strong
When this old world begins to shake
Fool may build his buildings tall, but it will be so frail
Compared to this church that Jesus built
With three old rusty nails.
Tag
Well, He built this church on a rugged cross
And three old rusty nails.

(Verse 1)
He came from Galilee, carpenter by trade,
Came to build His Father's church, on plans, that they had made.
His destinity was calvary, His mission would not fail,
He would build His church, on a rugged cross, and three old rusty nails.
(Chorus).....
This church is still standing, and it will never fall,
Bloodstain it's foundation, and faith put up it walls,
Though the world, may come against it, they will not prevail,
He built, this church, on a rugged cross, and three old rusty nails.
(Verse 2)
Bricks and stones, themselves alone, aren't everything it takes,
To build a church, that will stand so strong, when this old world begins to shake.
A fool may build his building tall, but it will be so frail,
Compared to this church Jesus build, with three old rusty nails.
I know that this church is still standing......(Then rest of chorus)
(Coda)..... Well, He build, this church, on a rugged cross, and three old rusty nails.
