The Story
We often focus so much on what Jesus did for us on the cross that we forget who He is right now. This song connects the dots: the very same hands that were nailed to the cross to take the hit for our sins are the same hands that are still reaching out to help us today. His love for us is beyond compare, extending far past the events of Calvary into our daily struggles, our grief, and our doubts. It is a reminder that the God of the Garden and the God of the Road is the same God who carries our heavy load, proving that His work of redemption wasn't just a moment in time—it is a continuous, loving pursuit of our hearts.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She was weeping by the stone
Feeling lost and all alone
She thought In the early morning air
He was the gardener there
Then He spoke and broke the chain
Of the trauma and the pain
The cloud of her grief began to rise
As she looked into loving eyes.
[Chorus]
The hands that were nailed,
Took the weight of the fall!
The King of the Cross, is now King over all!
He was broken for me, now He’s making me whole!
The Same Hands reached, to save my soul!
[Verse 2]
Two were walking, sinking low
Seven miles of grief to go
They talked of hope and a wooden tree
Of a King they thought they’d never see
But as He broke the bread and wine
Their eyes were opened by the Divine
He vanished then, but left the spark
The Light of the World within the dark.
[Chorus]
The hands that were nailed,
Took the weight of the fall!
The King of the Cross, is now King over all!
He was broken for me, now He’s making me whole!
The Same Hands reached, to save my soul!
[Verse 3]
Behind the locks and bolted door
He brought a peace unknown before
"Touch the holes and touch the side
The King of Life was crucified!"
The fear was gone, the doubt was done
In the presence of the Rising Son.
[Bridge]
The hands that carried the hill that day
Are the hands that wipe my tears away
The God of the Garden, the God of the Road
Is the God who carries my heavy load
[Crescendo]
He was there for them, He is here for me!
The Work of His Hands is my victory!
