If we have never sought, we seek Thee now;
Thine eyes burn through the dark, our only stars;
We must have sight of thorn-pricks on Thy brow,
We must have Thee, O Jesus of the Scars.
The heavens frighten us; they are too calm;
In all the universe we have no place.
Our wounds are hurting us; where is the balm?
Lord Jesus, by Thy Scars, we claim Thy grace.
If, when the doors are shut, Thou drawest near,
Only reveal those hands, that side of Thine;
We know to-day what wounds are, have no fear,
Show us Thy Scars, we know the countersign.
The other gods were strong; but Thou wast weak;
They rode, but Thou didst stumble to a throne;
But to our wounds only God’s wounds can speak,
And not a god has wounds, but Thou alone.
- Edward Shillito
lyrics
If I could just,
touch the hem of his cloak
I need a miracle
Stop this bleeding, this heart
I need healing
Oh, I need a miracle
Here on earth, from this dust
Here on earth,
God is man.
Flesh and blood,
from this dust
Flesh and blood,
his wounds,
speak to my wounds
Oh, I need a miracle
