Scars that speak

Verse 1

Life has a way of marking hearts

Leaving shadows in the dark

Questions hanging in the silence

Where were You, God?

I prayed for healing, nothing changed

Trusted You and felt the pain

Tried to hold onto Your promise

While my world fell apart

Pre-Chorus

But what if every broken place

Is where Your mercy meets my pain?

Chorus

These scars still speak

But they don’t speak defeat

They tell the story of a God

Who never stopped chasing me

What the enemy meant for shame

You turned into amazing grace

Now every wound becomes a window

To see Your love redeeming me

My scars still speak

But now they sing redemption

⸻

Verse 2

You were wounded, You were torn

Carried suffering alone

Rejected and abandoned

Yet You stayed

And when You rose out of the grave

The scars upon Your hands remained

Proof that death could not erase

The victory of grace

Pre-Chorus

Your scars became the evidence

That love is stronger than the end

Chorus

These scars still speak

But they don’t speak defeat

They tell the story of a God

Who never stopped chasing me

What the enemy meant for shame

You turned into amazing grace

Now every wound becomes a window

To see Your love redeeming me

My scars still speak

But now they sing redemption

⸻

Bridge (big emotional build)

You meet me in the wound

Not after I’m healed

Right here in the valley

Your presence is real

Close to the brokenhearted

Closer than my fear

Every tear I’ve cried

You have held near

And one day I will see

What You were building in me

That pain was never wasted

When placed into Your hands

⸻

Bridge 2 / Spontaneous Worship Section

Grace had the final word

Love had the final word

The cross had the final word over me

I am not abandoned

I am not forgotten

Even in the hurting

You are holy

⸻

Final Chorus

These scars still speak

Now they testify of peace

They tell the story of a Savior

Who carried suffering for me

And though the healing takes some time

Your redemption is alive

So every wound becomes a doorway

Where Your glory shines through me

My scars still speak

But now they sing redemption

Now they sing redemption
