Tuesday's Trust - No Scar? ~Amy Carmichael







Tuesday's Trust


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
