Nailed



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
