Great song lyrics

I haven't actually heard the song; I just stumbled across the lyrics on the internet. I love the line:

If Jesus wears His scars for me, then I'll wear mine for you.

Although I usually don't like God being brought into songs, it's a great image and one I am taking as a literary reference rather than a spiritual one.

Tattoo
Written and Performed by Jennifer Daniels

Mamma, tell me that one again. The one about the scar
That stretches out across your skin so far.
And don't leave out the part where you call it the tattoo
That God, in all His love, picked out for you.

Well, it was raining out.
Your Daddy thought there might be something wrong.
We had stayed up late. We had "Carson" on.
And when the fever came we were fixing up your room
But baby started on the way, much too soon.

There was no time to cry. The doctor swore an oath
And said, "We've got to get the baby out.
Or we're gonna lose them both".
There was no time to pray. They cut me open wide
And found the treasure of my life inside.

The wound began to heal. The muscles began to bind.
I thought of God up in his tattoo parlor picking out my design.
And how He's funny to commemorate our days,
Especially the hard-fought, bloody ones He saves.

Ever since that night I have found strength to pray,
"The good Lord giveth and the good Lord takes away".
And blessed be the name, even with stripes to prove.
If Jesus wears His scars for me, then I'll wear mine for you.
