What Scars Are For - Mandisa

These scars aren’t pretty

But they’re a part of me

And will not ever fade away

These marks tell a story

Of me down in the valley

And how You reached in with Your grace

And healed me

They remind me of Your faithfulness

And all You brought me through

They teach me that my brokenness

Is something You can use

They show me where I’ve been and

That I’m not there any more

That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for

What scars are for

Erase, rewind

Wish I could every time

The hurt, the pain cuts so deep

But when I’m weak You’re strong

And in Your power I can carry on

And my scars say that You won’t ever leave

They remind me of Your faithfulness

And all You brought me through

They teach me that my brokenness

Is something You can use

They show me where I’ve been and

That I’m not there any more

That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for

I see it on the cross

The nails You took for me

Scars can change the world

Scars can set me free

They remind me of Your faithfulness

And all You brought me through

They teach me that my brokenness

Is something You can use

They show me where I’ve been and

That I’m not there any more

That’s what scars, that’s what scars

You show me that’s what scars are for

What scars are for, yeah

What scars are for

What scars are for
