Graven on His Palms


Graven on the palms 

Of His Almighty hands

I am e'er remembered; 

Forsaken not I stand.


Hast my God forgotten?  

Doth He hide his face?

No, I live before Him; 

He showers me with grace.

 

‘Tis He, my Love, protects me, 

Encompassing with care,

Eternal purposes ordained 

Before a world was there.


And on those wounded hands, 

Through those nail-ravaged palms

He sees me through His precious blood 

And cheers me all day long.

 

And now I stand before Him, 

Redeemed and full of grace

Cast down but not forsaken, 

I cherish this, His place.


And though the world forget me, 

My God looks from above;

For He has graven me upon 
His nail-scarred hands in love!
