The sermon that evenin'
was John 3:16
How they crucified Christ
for sinners like me
I wondered what kind of men
could be so cruel and mean
Then I found the answer
that night in my sleep
I dreamed I drove the nails
I swung the hammer
upon calvary's hill
With his blood on my hands
my teardrops fell
Oh I dreamed I drove the nails
Over and over
I've thought of that dream
And the message
that God was sendin' to me
In that nightmare I shared
the guilt and the blame
But each nail that was driven
bares all of our names
I dreamed I drove the nails
I swung the hammer
upon calvary's hill
With his blood on my hands
my teardrops fell
Oh I dreamed I drove the nails
I dreamed I drove the nails
I swung the hammer
upon calvary's hill
With his blood on my hands
my teardrops fell
Oh I dreamed I drove the nails
Yes I dreamed I drove the nails
