My Nail

My Nail

I carry my nail in right hand
Reminding me of He who died for me
39 lashes cutting his flesh
all so I could receive His best
Nails in His hands and his feet
all so defeat would be a word I couldn’t speak
a crown of thorns on his head
laid on a splintered cross instead of a hospital bed
His bloodshed…
How can anyone have a problem doing what He said?

I carry my nail in right hand
Symbolizing my trip to Calvary
Constantly reminding me
of the price He paid
for the mistakes I made,
the many times I disobeyed,
trying to bury my sin
which He already forgave.

I carry my nail in my right hand
Symbolizing the new me
Free to carry out His commands
Free to say Yes I’ll go
Free to join His army
Free to give up my God-given No.

I hold my nail in my right hand
Because I now have no choice
He has freed me for His service
And I clearly hear His voice
He says Go get My people
Go forth in My name
The Kingdom of God is hand
Time out for the religious game.
