God's Nail

Hi Everyone!

I ran across a really neat poem in a book I was reading when I was at my mom's house.  I loved the thoughts depicted in this poem, so thought I would share it with all of you here.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

God's Nail

Lord, make me a nail upon the wall,

Fastened securely in its place.

Then from this thing so common and so small,

Hang a bright picture of Thy face;

That travelers may pause to look

Upon the loveliness depicted there,

And passing on their weary ways,

Each radiant face may bear--

Stamped so that nothing can efface--

The image of Thy glory and Thy grace.

Lord, let not one soul think of me.

Only let me be a nail upon the wall,

Holding Thy picture in its place.
