The Scars of the Nails – v2

More than a tattoo artist
a name written on the skin;
God has engraved our names
into the flesh of His being
our names engraved on His palms

The scars of the nails
that the disciples beheld
own names embedded within
the flesh of the Christ
never to forget the cost of our sin
