It Is Written
by Cynthia Bleuler Tucker
Isaiah 49:15b-16
"...Even these may forget you, yet I will not forget you.
Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands."
Was my name written on Your hands as You hung dying from the cross?
Did they drive the nail through my middle name?
Did Your precious blood flow over each letter to cleanse me of my sin?
Was my name written on Your hands?
Was my name written on Your hands as You broke the power of death?
Did Thomas see it as he looked at Your palms?
Did he gasp in praise as he saw all those rescued from their sin?
Was my name written on your hands?
Is my name wriiten in Your mind as you tenderly call my name?
Do you think of me as You approach Your Father's throne?
As I seek Your face in a mixed-up world and a whirlwind of events,
Is my name written in Your mind?
When I walk in dark valleys of temptation and doubt,
When evil rears it's ugly head,
When the Liar whispers "come to me"
You hold up Your hands, show him my name
Clench your fists and say
"nothing can snatch him out of My hands!"
Will my name be on Your heart as I enter heaven's gates?
As You take my hand and lead me to the Father's throne?
Will You tenderly call out my name and present me to the heavenly throng?
And show them my name written on Your hands.
Will my name be written in Your holy book of life?
Will you open it and say, "Well done, servant?"
And when You return to earth in full glory,
and every knee shall bow,
Will my name still be written on Your hands?
