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
