Cross of Nails Lyrics

One cold November
A war retook the night
A church is left to ruin
A town is left to die
The morning after
We start to build again
You can burn down a building
But you can't destroy a faith

Rise up and fly again
True love, it never fails
Rise up and fly again
We will not forget Your cross of nails

When the war was over
We traveled across for miles
To set a true example of love reconciled
No longer fighting
Forget about the blame
Let's put the past behind us
And hope for better days

Father, forgive us
We know not what we do
Father, forgive us
We want to live for You

The hatred that divides us all
And coveting what is not our own
And greed exploiting works of human hands
Our envy of our other man
Indifference to the suffering
The lust and pride and all our other sins

Forgive us, Lord
Won't You forgive us, Lord...
