No Scar?

Hast thou no scar?
No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand?
I hear thee sung as mighty in the land. 
I hear them hail thy bright, ascendant star. 
Hast thou no scar?
Hast thou no wound?
Yet I was wounded by the archers, spent.
Leaned Me against a tree to die; and rent
By raving beasts that compasses Me, I swooned;
Hast thou no wound?
No wound? No scar?
Yet, as the Master shall the servant be,
And pierced are the feet that follow Me;
But thine are whole: can he have followed far
Who has no wound or scar?

Not too much reading going on here lately. We've been too busy for my lofty goals to be met in the reading area. So I'm trying to catch up on reading and honestly just using books to wind  down in the evenings and not necessarily to expand my mind! Haha! Turns out this literature freak has been tired lately! Hope your summer reading is faring better than mine!
