You can nail a shingle to your office wall
Screw a photo frame secure so it won’t fall
You can nail a horseshoe up above your door
Nail a hundred objects high, or even more
You can pin your pictures to an album page
or secure a backdrop to a drama stage
You can fasten any object as you will
but Christ climbed willingly up that hill
The nails did not secure Him to that tree
The spikes did not prevent Him being free
but love became His sole constraint
and Christ died for the sinner, not the saint
