God always answers us in the deeps, never in the shallows of our soul. ~Amy Carmichael

Has thou no scar?

Hast thou no scar?

No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand?

I hear thee sung as mighty in the land,

I hear them hail thy bright ascendant star:

Hast thou no scar?



Hast thou no wound?

Yet, I was wounded by the archers, spent.

Leaned me against the tree to die, and rent

By ravening beasts that compassed me, I swooned: 

Hast thou no wound?



No wound? No scar?

Yes, as the master shall the servant be,

And pierced are the feet that follow Me; 

But thine are whole. Can he have followed far

Who has no wound? No scar?

~ Amy Carmichael (1867-1951)
