Without My Scars

Without my scars I wouldn’t be reminded of Your faithfulness 

I brought them upon myself but their healing shows who You are

Through them I can show others the redemption story you’re writing in me

I was so far gone or so I thought till you came and rescued me

I still make mistakes but my mistakes don’t change who You are

You are the God who knows me so intimately and deeply

You love me without conditions because You know I can’t succeed with You

I can’t even breathe or move without You cuz You hold it all

Ive given up the right to write my own story in exchange for Your abundant grace

Pour out Your will on the blank slate of my heart it’s all Yours

Let others see You in the depths of my eyes and life

That they may know love beyond all imagination or thought

Freedom from the chains that You broke off of me and can do for them too

Joy that is endless and hope for a wonderful future ahead

Life that is eternal and spent in the heavenly presence of You

Brokenness that can be restored and resurrection of the death inside

Renewal of lost hope and the beginning of a beautiful relationship with You

Life you promise us life if we believe and how can we not

Your glory is painted in the sunrise every day and in the sunset every night

Oh sweet Jesus let them see open their eyes and hearts

Make soft that which is hard and open that which is closed off

Help them know that they are known and loved beyond comprehension

That the God who created it all knows their name and their struggles

You love them You died for them You defeated the grave for them

And You daily continue to shower grace and mercy upon them

Thank You Father God for the construction You’re doing in me

I am Your vessel pour me out and pour Yourself in abundantly

This life what little I have left may it be solely for Your glory
