My Scars

"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 ​
