What Scars Are For

These scars aren’t pretty But they’re a part of me And will not ever fade away These marks tell a story Of me down in the valley And how You reached in with Your grace And healed me They remind me of Your faithfulness And all You brought me through They teach me that my brokenness Is something You can use They show me where I’ve been and That I’m not there any more That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for what scars are for Erase, rewind Wish I could every time The hurt, the pain cuts so deep But when I’m weak You’re strong And in Your power I can carry on And my scars say that You won’t ever leave They remind me of Your faithfulness And all You brought me through They teach me that my brokenness Is something You can use They show me where I’ve been and That I’m not there any more That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for I see it on the cross The nails You took for me Scars can change the world Scars can set me free They remind me of Your faithfulness And all You brought me through They teach me that my brokenness Is something You can use They show me where I’ve been and That I’m not there any more That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for They show me that’s what scars are for What scars are for What scars are for
