The Nail-Scarred Holy Hands by: Laura Faulkenberry Howard Poem by Laura Faulkenberry Howard

Hands opened wide
Welcoming us to HIS side
The love he sacrificed
As they drove the nails in his hands and feet
Withstanding agonizing pain through
The loving grave and mercy of God

Needing a touch from above
He sends it on the wings of a dove
What amazing amazing love
HIS HANDS surround us always
Especially on the long, hard days

His HOLY HANDS protect us day and night
Signifying HIS POWER and MIGHT
When we close our eyes in death
Or meet him in the air
Look for those NAIL-SCARRED HOLY Hands
and feet
United with CHRIST JESUS
In that HEAVENLY LAND! ! ! !
