my scars visible

cracks in my plaster
the clay of my body
my flesh getting older
each year I live
my scars visible
my sin, my past,
as when I jump in frigid water
my skin turning blue
the scars visible
in the light, under Jesus,
my sin cannot hide
needing the living waters
to wash the substance
the flesh from me
making a stone
to build the temple
my scars visible
in the light, within the Spirit,
a testament to my past
and the hope that sustains us
