I keep drivin’ them nails
drivin’ them nails right into you
I keep drivin’ them nails
drivin’ them nails 
Don’t know why I do

I used to think if I was there
standing with Jesus face to face
I’d be the one to stand up for him
maybe even take his place

I keep drivin’ them nails
drivin’ them nails right into you
I keep drivin’ them nails
drivin’ them nails 
Don’t know why I do

I never felt that graceful
I thought that God was keeping score
The more I tried to earn his favor
I’d hit them nails more and more

Why do keep on keep on payin,
On a debt that’s already been paid
I’ve got it made

I keep drivin’ them nails
drivin’ them nails right into you
I keep drivin’ them nails
drivin’ them nails 
Don’t know why I do
