Karen Peck & New River
Tougher Than Nails
Who would have guessed
That baby in the manger
So innocent, so meek and mild
In mortal flesh was God of all creation
Sent down to save and reconcile
Who would have dreamed
That teacher in the temple
Twelve years old and yet so wise
Between to thieves
Would die a man forsaken
From the gates of death He would rise
A cross of wood could not hold Him
A tomb of stone would not prevail
No human hand
Could swing a hammer hard enough
He's stronger than stone
Stoutеr than steel
Tougher than nails
Who would have thought
That burden that you'rе bearing
That heavy weight of sin and doubt
Was on the cross defeated by the Savior
Those nails could never keep Him down
A cross of wood could not hold Him
A tomb of stone would not prevail
No human hand
Could swing a hammer hard enough
He's stronger than stone
Stouter than steel
Tougher than nails
A cross of wood could not hold Him
A tomb of stone would not prevail
No human hand
Could swing a hammer hard enough
He's stronger than stone
Stouter than steel
Tougher than nails
He's stronger than stone
Stouter than steel
He's tougher than nails
Tougher than nails
