Tattoo

Above me was the sacred heart of Jesus

As I lay there in wilful pain 

My tattoo artist loved religious art 

So I was surely to gain 

It wasn't planned 

Though God did plan 

To send me to 

A catholic Tattoo man 

It was agony at times

Most of the time in fact 

For I have a low pain threshold 

Yet I tried to bravely act

But my body was often shaking 

My arm aching 

But the sacred heart of Jesus 

Had my soul awaking 

To thoughts of awe 

And deep painful wonder 

How did you do it 

Oh God of holy thunder 

Submit like a Lamb 

To the slaughter 

I'd do it too though 

For my wee daughter 

Pain pain 

There's nothing like it 

Terrible torment 

Oh deep dark pit 

Yet God went there 

For you 

Will you respond 

Oh love Him too
