the whole world is
an open wound
seeping weeping
scabless wound
ever-bleeding
as far back as we
can know
as far forward as we
can see
one big open wound
bleeding
needing
screaming
wound
Yet
as far as the east is
from the west-love
as far as the heavens
above the earth-love
grieving arms
fierce surrender
bleeding wounds
sure atonement
just-as-if
if-we-will
bleeding wound
undeserved transferred
His head
His hands
His feet
saving restoring
meeting-love
healing redeeming
ransom-love
bears His-now
scabless wounds
there to see
there to receive
there to adore
as far back as we
can know
as far forward as we
can see
forever
as far as
time
if we will
Christ pours his lifeblood into us. Perpetually, as long as he exists, he seems to be oozing out into his people. -- Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Members of Christ
But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 (ESV)
Then [Jesus] said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don't be faithless any longer. Believe!" John 20:27 (NLT)
Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne ... Revelation 5:6
... the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. Revelation 13:8
