  • Engrave

    I wrote this song as I was graduating from Highschool on 11/11/05 I found in the book of Isaiah the exact verse.

    Bridge: I look at your hands and I see my name engraved (11)
    Show me your wounds that I may find true healing (11)
    My name is engraved on the palms of my Lord (11)
    Please engrave in my heart your love for the world (11)

    Chorus: Please engrave my heart to love with grace (9)
    Engrave your characteristics Lord (9)
    Within my heart that I may love more (9)
    That I may show how vast true love is (9)

    Verse 1: May my heart reflect your love for this falling world (12)
    Engrave within me a heart for the lost people (12)
    It’s hard to see you go through all this pain for me (12)
    The pain this sin has caused you really breaks my heart (12)
    As you continue to show me how you’ve loved me (12)
    The love you have given to me is amazing (12)
    As I learn to follow your example Lord (12)

    Verse 2: Please give me a heart that hurts for the lost (10)
    Teach me to follow you with all my life (10)
    I long to be the man you created (10)
    As I look at your hands I see your blood (10)
    You have washed me clean in your cleansing blood (10)
    Please show me that your love is like a flood (10)
    I am clean no longer in chains of sin (10)
    You have set me free from the sin I’ve done (10)
    I rest in your arms I come running home (10)
