Three Rusty Nails Songtext
von Mike Purkey

He came from Galilee
Carpenter by trade
Came to build His Father′s church
On plans they had made
His destiny was Calvary
His mission would not fail
He would build this church on a rugged cross
And three old rusty nails

This church is still standing
And it will never fall
Blood stained its foundation
And faith put up its walls
Though the world may come against it
They will not prevail
He built this church on a rugged cross
And three old rusty nails


Bricks and stones themselves alone
Aren't everything it takes
To build a church that will stand so strong
When this old world begins to shake
Fool may build his building tall
But it will be so frail
Compared to this church Jesus built
With three old rusty nails

I know that this church is still standing
And it will never fall
Blood stained its foundation
And faith put up its walls
Though the world may come against it
They will not prevail
He built this church on a rugged cross
And three old rusty nails

Well, He built this church on a rugged cross
And three old rusty nails
