No Scar?
~Amy Carmichael
Hast thou no scar?
No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand?
I hear thee sung as mighty in the land,
I hear them hail thy bright ascendant star,
Hast thou no scar?
Hast thou no wound?
Yet I was wounded by the archers, spent,
Leaned me against a tree to die; and rent
By ravening beasts that compassed me, I swooned:
Hast thou no wound?
No wound? No scar?
Yet, as the Master shall the servant be,
And pierc-ed are the feet that follow me;
But thine are whole: can he have followed far
Who has no wound nor scar?
~Amy Carmichael

"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands;
your walls are ever before Me."
~Psalm 49:15-16 NIV
"For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ,
not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake."
~Philippians 1:29
