Newsflash Singers - A Cross of Wood and Three Rusty Nails Lyrics

There is wealth in the bible
What a sight to behold
Yes there is plenty of silver
And abundance of gold
But there's something much more precious
To which earthly wealth pales
The precious blood of Jesus
His cross of wood
And three rusty nails
Yes a cross of wood
On a hillside there stood
On that cross a precious lamb
The only Saviour of man
On that old rugged cross
Hung salvation for the lost
The most perfect sacrifice
The Son of God
Jesus Christ

There is wealth in the bible
Yes many precious stones
There are rubies,pearls and diamonds
But none of them atones
For none of them can purge man's sin
For each one badly fails
Not like the blood of Jesus
His cross of wood
And three rusty nails

There are words in the bible
That comforts a man's soul
There's salvation and forgiveness
For our sins we are told
But words alone can not atone
Cause salvation entails
The precious blood of Jesus
His cross of wood
And three rusty nails
