Rend Collective's song 'Nailed to the Cross' is a declaration of freedom from sin and guilt through Jesus' sacrifice. The lyrics emphasize that believers are no longer condemned because Christ's death on the cross has removed their shame. The song encourages preaching the gospel to oneself when facing doubt or accusation, and celebrates the finished work of Christ. It looks forward to standing before God's throne, confident in Jesus' righteousness. The repeated refrain 'My sin is nailed to the cross' reinforces the central theme of redemption and victory over sin.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Our guilt and our shame are nailed to the cross
When I stand accused by my regrets
And the devil roars his empty threats
I will preach the gospel to myself
That I am not a man condemned
For Jesus Christ is my defense
My sin is nailed to the cross
My soul is healed by the scars
The weight of guilt I bear no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
When my doubt and shame hang over me
Like the arrows of the enemy
I will run again to Calvary
That rugged hill of hell's defeat
My fortress and my victory
My sin is nailed to the cross
My soul is healed by the scars
The weight of guilt I bear no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
My sin is nailed to the cross
My soul is healed by the scars
Now I'm alive forevermore
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
It is finished, sin is vanquished
Hallelujah, praise the Lord
All the glory, all the honor
To my Saviour, Christ the Lord
It is finished, sin is vanquished
Hallelujah, praise the Lord
All the glory, all the honor
To my Saviour, Christ the Lord
When I stand before the throne at last
His blood will plead my innocence
I will worship Him with holy hands
And raise the song that never ends
Of Jesus Christ, my righteousness
My sin is nailed to the cross
My soul is healed by the scars
The weight of guilt I bear no more
Praise the Lord, oh praise the Lord
My sin is nailed to the cross
My soul is healed by the scars
Now I'm alive forevermore
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Oh praise the Lord, praise the Lord
