Heal The Wound

I used to wish that 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 altar with The rubble that You've 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 this 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 this heart And 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
