Nails of the Wooden Cross

Tony36

Jesus can you help me

I'm a sinner on the run

I'm just looking for salvation

I don't want to hurt no one

I ran head first into a problem

I was only looking for a friend

My search came up with nothing

I difd not find the truth 

I only found an end

 

I know that you can save me 

You are the Holy One

But the only justice that I can see

Are the nails of the Wooden cross 

 

I've been broke 

I've been beaten 

All because of my ways 

I wonder when I'll get enough 

Of this crying game 

What I'd need in life I'd take it

They say good things come to those who wait

But it's my life that's fading fast

 

The image that haunts 

Me both day and night

The nails of the Wooden cross 

 

There's been so many sleepless nights

With this image running in my head

 

So Jesus can you help me 

And forgive me for what I've done

Or

Have the ghosts of justice brought you here to me

To face the 

Nails of the Wooden cross
