Driving Nails

              D              
Since that blessed night in a 
                G              D
manger, she watched her baby grow.
It seems like yesterday He was in 
                Em            A
her arms, where did the time go?
      D                          
He learned His Father's trade, as 
         G           D
she marveled at it all.
The sweat dropped from her little 
                  Em         A7 
carpenter, as He made the timbers 
   D
fall.

[Chorus]
         Bm                G      
She can hear the driving nails, 
          D                  Bm   
upon the hillside...  And she 
           G              Em    A7
prays that His spirit will not fail.
      Bm           G      
She watches as a young man, 
        D                 G       
undertakes His Fathers will...  As
         Bm                A7 
 she stands and listens, to the 
              D
driving nails.

[Verse 2]
          D                      G
In the streets of Jerusalem, a 
           D
child can disappear.

She was frantic as she looked for 
           Em            A
Him, until she began to hear...
       D                         
The hammers up at the temple, she 
   G                D
called Him as she ran.
Surprised she found Him teaching, 
        Em     A7
like no or-din-ary man.

[Chorus]
        Bm                 G      
She can hear the driving nails, 
          D                  Bm   
upon the hillside...  And she 
           G              Em    A7
prays that His spirit will not fail.
      Bm           G      
She watches as a young man, 
        D                 G       
undertakes His Fathers will...  As
         Bm                A7 
 she stands and listens, to the 
              D
driving nails.

[Verse 3]
   D                             
Darkness covered all the land, in 
       G            D
the middle of the day.
                              Em   
She began to tremble, as the earth 
           A7
began to quake.
   D                               
Hammers, nails and timbers, of the 
    G7       D
carpenters trade...
Made the sound that pierced her 
              Em               D
soul, as the cross was being raised.

[Chorus]
        Bm                 G      
She can hear the driving nails, 
          D                  Bm   
upon the hillside...  And she 
           G              Em    A7
prays that His spirit will not fail.
      Bm           G      
She watches as a young man, 
        D                 G       
undertakes His Fathers will...  As
         Bm                A7 
 she stands and listens, to the 
              D
driving nails.

[Otro]
         Bm                      
And she cries and listens, to the 
           D
driving nails.
