Isaiah 49 Engraved on His Hands
--------
Shout for joy, you heavens;
rejoice, you earth;
burst into song, you mountains!
For the Lord comforts his people
and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
But God's people said, “The Lord has forsaken me,
the Lord has forgotten me.”
“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.
--------
God loves us with a mother's indelible love.
Your name is engraved on the palm of his hand--
Not with a dry marker or ballpoint pen, but cut deep into the hand of the Creator.
When the world looks at the hands of Christ, they see nail prints.
But when you look closely you will see your name, indelibly engraved for all eternity
---------
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness, of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
