D is also for "Does He Still Feel the Nails?"

The following Ray Boltz song always speaks to me...especially this time of year.

They tell me Jesus died
For my transgressions
That he paid that price a long, long time ago
When he gave his life for me 
On a hill called Calvary
But there's something else I want to know

Does he still feel the nails
Every time I fail
Can he hear the crowd cry "Crucify" again
Am I causing him pain 
Then I know I've got to change
I just can't bear the thought of hurting him.

It seems that I'm so good at breaking promises
And I treat his precious grace so carelessly
But each time he forgives 
What if he re-lives 
The agony He felt on that tree

Holy, holy 
Holy is the Lord 
Holy Holy 
Holy is the Lord

Do you still feel the nails 
Every time I fail
Have I crucified you Jesus with my sins
Oh I'm tired of playing games
I really want to change
I never want to hurt you again

Holy, Holy 
Holy is the Lord
Holy, Holy 
Holy is the Lord
