Tougher Than Nails

Little boy walks in with a bloody nose,
Got beat up on his way home from school,
Again.
His Daddy caught him runnin' out the back,
Tears in his eyes an' a baseball bat,
Ooh, revenge.
Said: "Son, I won't stop you, but before you go,
"Let me tell you a little story 'bout the toughest man I know.

"They hit him an' he just turned the other cheek.
"But don't think, for a minute, he was weak.
"'Cause in the end, he showed them,
"He was anything but frail.
"They hammered him to a cross,
"But he was tougher than nails."

Well, he dropped that bat like it weighed a ton.
Father put his arms around his son and said:
"Just let it go."
Well, lately, I been in his shoes,
Had to ask myself: "What would Jesus do?"
And here's what I know.
Whenever I'm in doubt, I look up what he said.
It's all there in The Good Book; in black an' white, it read:

"They hit him an' he just turned the other cheek.
"But don't think, for a minute, he was weak.
"'Cause in the end, he showed them,
"He was anything but frail.
"They hammered him to a cross,
"But he was tougher than nails."

Yeah, in the end, he showed them,
He was anything but frail.
They hammered him to a cross,
But he was tougher than nails.

Tougher than nails.

Oh, oh, oh
