Do you have wounds? What about scars?

Then read the words to this song carefully. Drink them in as if they were the coldest water your dry parched mouth has ever tasted. They'll sooth and refresh, encourage and strengthen your faith in our wonderful most awesome Father!

I used to wish that I could rewrite history
I used to dream that each mistake could be erased
Then I could just pretend
I never knew the me back then

I used to pray that you would take this shame away
Hide all the evidence of who I've been
But it's the memory of
the place you brought me from
that keeps me on my knees
and even thought I'm free

Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful you are
I am broken torn apart
Take the pieces of this heart
Heal the wound but leave the scar

I have not lived a life that boasts of anything
And I don't take pride in what I bring
But I'll build an altar with
the rubble that you found me in
And every stone will sing
Of what you can redeem

Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful you are
I am broken torn apart
Take the pieces of this heart
Heal the wound but leave the scar

Don't let me forget
Everything you've done for me
Don't let me forget
There's beauty in the suffering

Heal the wound but leave the scar
