MAN MADE NAILS

FORGIVE US, LORD, FOR WE KNOW WHAT WE DO;

WE JUST MADE THE NAILS THAT WERE DRIVEN THRU YOU.

EACH WAKING MORNING WE DO WHAT WE MUST

NOT FOR  YOUR GLORY OR EVEN IN TRUST.

WE PICK UP THE PAPER, SCAN THRU THE NEWS,

CATCH UP ON THE LATEST MOVIE REVIEWS.

WE SCHEDULE OUR DAY WITH A LUNCH RESERVATION,

BUT NEVER HAVE TIME FOR YOUR VENERATION.

WHEN EVENING COMES AND WE GET READY FOR BED,

BY THEN WE FORGET WHO WORE THE THORNS ON HIS HEAD.

OUR MINDS STILL CLUTTERED ABOUT ONGOING SALES

WHILE OUR GOD IS HANGING BY OUR OWN CRAFTED NAILS.

THE GREED AND THE POWER STILL RUNS THRU OUR VEINS

WHILE GOD IN HIS MERCY NEVER COMPLAINS.

THE GOD ON THE CROSS SAYS, “I DO UNDERSTAND;

YOU GAVE ME YOUR NAILS, I STILL GIVE YOU MY HAND.”
