Lyrics

This next song we're gonna do
 A few years ago, I had the privilege of working with Bishop T. D. Jakes
 On an album called 'Sacred Love Songs', and
 And this is his lil' song that he wrote
 I mean, well, he didn't write it with me, he just kinda inspired me to write it
 He- one day we were just talking about the record
 And he was into scripture, he was into this scripture
 "I'm crucified with Christ", and
 He said, "Donald", he said, "Listen
 When we first get saved, when we first come down to the altar
 And we accept Christ
 Right when we turn around and walk back to our seat
 An invisible cross shows up behind us
 And it follows us to our seat
 And as the years, growing
 As we get a little older, and our relationship develops
 The cross was here, but it starts coming like this (yes)
 Until we- until the cross is right behind us
 And before you know it, the cross has nailed us"
 So as he said, "When Paul said, 'I'm crucified with Christ'
 You gotta see Christ's nails in your hand (yes!)
 And Christ's nails in your feet
 And when you wanted to go this way, you couldn't because
 These nails kept holding you (turn it up!)
 And when they got on your nerves, and you wanted to go curse them out
 You couldn't, because these nails ke- (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
 And when everybody went out to the party and to the clubs
 And they got together, and they slept around
 You wanted to, but you couldn't, because (yes!) These-
 Tell somebody, "There were some things I could have done
 But these nails, these nails"
 You need to touch about five people about these nails
 And say, "These nails, these nails, these nails!"
 (Yeah! Hallelujah!
 I'm crucified with Christ, and these nails keep holding me
 They keep me up, they hold me, they hold me
 They hold me, they hold me, they hold me, they- (hallelujah! Yeah)
