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
You show me that's what scars are for
What scars are for yeah
What scars are for (What scars are for)
