[Verse 1]
I see the glances, feel the stares
Whispers rising in the Sunday air
You look at ink like it’s a sin
But don’t know where those marks have been
Each line a battle, every shade a scar
From the war I fought just to get this far
[Chorus]
If you could see my heart, not just my skin
You’d see a soul that’s been born again
I’m not who I was, I’ve been made new
By mercy deeper than my darkest blue
So don’t be fooled by what you see
The Lord don’t judge as easily
I’m His beloved, set apart
If you could only see my heart
[Verse 2]
You ask how a lady of faith could wear
Tattoos like stories laid out bare
But every mark is a testimony
Of how my Savior rescued me
He saw me drowning in my shame
Reached right in and called my name
[Chorus]
If you could see my heart, not just my skin
You’d see a soul that’s been born again
I’m not who I was, I’ve been made new
By mercy deeper than my darkest blue
So don’t be fooled by what you see
The Lord don’t judge as easily
I’m His beloved, set apart
If you could only see my heart
[Bridge]
And I’m not mad, I understand
We all need grace, a helping hand
So I’ll keep loving you right where you are
‘Cause Jesus loves you too—with all His heart
[Final Chorus]
If you could see my heart, not just my skin
You’d see the light that burns within
I walk in truth, I walk in grace
With lifted hands and a tear-streaked face
So when you look, look deeper still
God’s not confined to what you feel
He’s in the story behind every mark
If you could only see my heart
