1st Verse:

He came from Galilee
a carpenter by trade
He came to build His Father's church
from plans they had made
His destiny was Calvary
His mission could not fail
He had come to build a church
with three old rusty nails

Chorus:

And 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
with three old rusty nails

2nd Verse:

Bricks and stones themselves alone
aren't everything it takes
to build a church that will stand strong
when this world begins to shake
A fool may build his building tall
but it will be so frail
compared to this church Jesus built
with three old rusty nails

Chorus:

And 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
with three old rusty nails
