Song Produced by Redeemed Music Channel. Official Lyric Video.
Though the weight of the world pressed down on Him, it was not the nails, but an
unyielding love that held Him there, a love so profound that it transcended pain
and embraced redemption.
It was love that gave Him the strength to stay, to endure, and to complete the
sacrifice for all humanity.
The agony and scorn, it was love that bound Him to the cross, a love that saw
beyond the present torment to the eternal freedom it would bring.
Lyrics Highlights
It wasn't the nails, no iron or wood, That kept Him there, He knew He could,
Call down angels, escape the pain, It was love, it was love that held Him up.
The phrase "Love held Him on the cross" is a poetic way of expressing the idea that Jesus' love for humanity was the reason He endured crucifixion. While the exact phrase isn't in Scripture, the concept is found in various passages that emphasize Jesus' love and sacrifice:
John 15:13 - "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."
This verse highlights the ultimate expression of love through sacrifice.
Romans 5:8 - "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
This emphasizes that Christ’s death was a demonstration of His love for us.
Hebrews 12:2 - "For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
While this verse speaks of the "joy" set before Him, it's understood that His love for humanity was part of that motivation.
Galatians 2:20 - "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
This verse directly links Christ's crucifixion with His love.
These verses reflect the idea that it was Jesus' love that led Him to and kept Him on the cross. This theme is often captured in hymns and worship songs to convey the depth of Christ's love.
