He Knows Them

into the hands of the Maker we place our trembling hands

into His scarred hands,

 they are strong, gentle, confident, humble, eternal, mysterious

we, like Peter sinking into the sea,

 must never forget these scarred hands that always reach for us,

especially as we are ourselves scarred by the nails of sin and time,

we cannot say with any honesty that we are alone in our battles,

or that He does not understand our emotions

the emotions of betrayal, He knows them

the emotions of loneliness, He knows them

the emotions of fear, He knows them

the emotions of dread, He knows them

the emotions of being misunderstood, He knows them

let the grimace on our souls become a grin today

and with confidence let's place our weak hands into our Savior's scarred and loving hands,

Hallelujah.
