Those Nail Scars

Must we see it to believe it?

Must we ask the Lord if we

may touch His prints to get some hints

of what has come to be?

 

A 'doubting one' had seen God's Son.

He saw our Master's hands.

Did Thomas learn and then discern

mere facts to understand?

 

Are we to seek and take a peek

for proof so we might know?

Are we remiss within our bliss

that our faith fails to grow?

 

Those nail scars were never ours.

Pure sin had seized those crowds.

But in the end, Christ did ascend

up through the yielding clouds.

 

So many view, but there are few

who understand 'the fall'.

Through burdens' weight, our Lord was great -

then rose above it all!
