Written in Flesh

Writing in my journal
pretending what is real,
wounds become eternal
disguising what I feel.

Writing with feeble ink
only scarring my page,
the weighty shadows sink
with heart, still filled with rage…

Written on His flesh and bone
my name engraved by grace,
His words of truth, leads me home
to the heart of love's embrace.

Written in the book of life
by the blood He gladly shed,
never erased by my strife
my name written as He bled.

Isaiah 49:16a NLT See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands
