Heal The Wound

I used to wish I could rewrite history
I used to dream that each mistake could be erased
Then I could just pretend
I never knew 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 though 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
And heal the wound but leave the scar
~
I have not lived a life that boasts of anything
I don't take pride in what I bring
But I'll build an alter 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 my heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar
~
Don't let me forget
Everything You've done for me
Don't let me forget
The beauty in the suffering
~
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart
Take the pieces of my heart
~
And Heal The Wound But Leave The Scar

How Beautiful






How beautiful the hands that served
The Wine and the bread and the sons of the earth
How beautiful the feet that walked
The long dusty road and the hill to the cross

How Beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ



How Beautiful the heart that bled
That took all my sins and bore it instead
How beautiful the tender eyes
That choose to forgive and never despise

How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ


And as He lay down His life
We offer this sacrifice

That we will live just as He died

Willing to pay the price, Willing to pay the price


How Beautiful the radiant bride
Who waits for her groom with His light in her eyes
How Beautiful when humble hearts give
The fruit of pure love so that others may live

How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ





How beautiful the feet that bring
The sound of good news and the love of the King


How Beautiful the hands that serve
The wine and the bread and the sons of the Earth


How Beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful is the body of Christ
