Around My Neck

I wear these metal nails upon my throat

As a symbol of our sins forgiven

For a reminder that I cannot gloat

Remembrance that a stake was driven

The pewter nails were once a sign of pain

Just imagine the fear He must have felt

Many people might think He was insane

What a horrid hand this God-man was dealt

Thirty pieces sold for Him to be nailed

He died for us, a sign of endless love

His life was returned, the Lord prevailed

This is such an awesome sign from above

He paid the price for our terrible sin

But glory in heaven is ours to win.
