• Song: What Scars Are For by Mandisa

    It is never easy going through a tough time.  God can use those times to remind, encourage, and show His goodness.  He paid the ultimately price for our sin and has the scars on his hands to prove it.  Thankful for a God who cares and loves us.

    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

    I see it on the cross
    The nails You took for me
    Scars can change the world
    Scars can set me free
