He touched my heart
Four nails and some wood
What can you do with four nails and some wood?
Can you build a boat that will float in a tub?
Wood for the hull and nails for a mast,
As the child dreams it can sail real fast.
What can you do with four nails and some wood?
Can you build a house? I would if I could.
Wood for the roof and nails for the walls?
Toy cars zoom around as the child crawls.
What can you do with four nails and some wood?
Can you build an airplane and get everyone aboard?
Wood for the body, nails for the tail fin,
The child dreams as all his creatures jump in.
This is what God did, four nails and some wood,
He allowed his Holy Son to die; in my place he stood.
For I am a sinner, til I take my last breath,
But God loved me, He loved me to death.
I will not boast about four nails and some wood,
I boast only about my dear Heavenly Lord.
He has given me peace, forgiven all my sins,
His indisputable resurrection brings hope within.
I cannot change society with four nails and some wood.
I would heal the broken and desperate if only I could.
But I can build a sign post, four nails and some wood,
Pointing to Jesus, your emptiness and pain he has understood.
