I was in the crowd the day that Jesus
died,
and as he hung upon the cross, his
mother cried.
I saw the crown of thorns he
wore, the stripe upon his back,
and as the
water and the blood ran out, then the sky turned
black.

My mind was filled with anger, my
heart was filled with shame.
This man brought
only healing; who could bring him pain?
Why
does it seem the strong always victimize the
weak?
Suddenly I found myself, standing to my
feet.

And I cried:
Refrain
"Who
nailed him there?  This child of peace and
mercy?"
"Who nailed him there?  Come
and face me like a man."
"Who nailed
him there?"  Then the crowd began to mock
me.
I cried "Oh my God, I just don't
understand!"
Then I turned and saw the
hammer in my hand.

I am just a Roman
soldier, an ordinary man.
I love my wife and
children, I do the best I can.
How can I have
killed him?  There must be someone
else.
There's got to be an answer.  I just
can't blame myself.

Repeat
Refrain

"I nailed him there!  This
child of peace and mercy!"
"I nailed
him there!  I am the guilty man!"
"I
nailed him there, with my sins and my
transgressions!"
I cried "O my God,
now I understand!'
When I turned and saw the
hammer in my hand.

spoken: [Surely this
man was the Son of God]
