(by John MacDuff)
"Behold! I have [en]graven thee upon the palms of my hands!" Isaiah 49:16
"Behold," says Immutable One, "I have engraved you on the palms of My hands!"
Not on the mountains, as colossal as they are--for they shall depart;
on no page of nature's vast volume--for the last fires shall scorch them;
not on blazing sun--for he shall grow dim with age;
not on glorious heavens--for they shall be folded together as a scroll.
But on . . .
the hands of might and love,
the hands which made the worlds,
the hands which were transfixed on Calvary, --I have engraved you there!
No corroding power can efface the writing, or obliterate your name!
You are Mine now--and Mine forever!
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand!" John 10:28
