Does He Still Feel the Nails

Once in a while a song gets stuck in my head and this is the current one by Ray Boltz

They tell me Jesus died for my transgressions
And 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 that 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 making promises
And I treat His precious grace so carelessly
But each time He forgives, what if He relives
The agony he felt on that tree?

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

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 sin?
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!

Almost always I find other people who are a whole lot better at expressing themselves than I am.  This is my prayer for today
