This song for Good Friday is in TTBB A capella. Tenor, Tenor, Baritone, Bass. It is a very moving piece. There is also a soloist in one section. It ends with the soloist and then... silence should be observed. This is in the perspective of Jesus and how he might have felt during his final hours. Very appropriate for a men's choir to sing it. See Lyrics below:
The Hammer and the Nail
Good Friday Song
Mens A capella
Refrain:
How can it be, the pain
that I feel, pounding through my hands be from the hammer and the nail?
When as a child, so young,
but aware, I watched Joseph use the hammer and the nail.
To create things that were
so beautiful.
How can this pain be from
the hammer and the nail?
