A Nail in His Holy Place


Ezra 9:8 (KJV) And now for a little space grace hath been [showed] from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.

In Holy Place where God doth dwell
where none dare enter in
but yet the priest most high just once
atoning for man's sin

That once per year did he abye
removing stains bore long
to purify and sanctify
bring peace to all life's wrong

Still yet no place for access there
for people to abide
twas bound by God direct to man
sine's curse to sanctify

But hid within there be a nail
where stationed soul confides
that hanging place for anchored life
where sin be purified

Tis but Christ's cross the peg in wall
available to gain
by bowing head and humble heart
belief in God's Son's reign

This nail in Holy Place to find
gives rest to all who will
God's promised everlasting life
forever more revealed
