 "Scars are beautiful when we see them as glorious reminders that we courageously survived.” ~Lysa TerKeurst Faded and hidden My eyes still see These scars upon my body How can you still love me? Beauty for ashes Yet I still see These scars upon my body Am I still your masterpiece? Evidence of pain Overwhelmed with shame Felt like I was the one to blame Then I called upon your name You took my shame Said I wasn’t to blame That you still love me the same And that’s when hope came These scars now remind me That I have survived Healing is possible You have a purpose for my life These scars now remind me Of what you carried me through Your love lit the way through the darkness My scars point me back to you
