Heal the wound

Below are lyrics from a Point of Grace song. If I were to make a soundtrack to my life, I would claim this song as my theme song. I cannot begin to articulate the amazing things that the Lord has been doing in my life and in my heart. Big things. I'm not perfect. I have made some stupid decisions and then made them all over again. But thankfully, I am covered by THE BLOOD! The truth of the matter is, if I had to do it all over again, I would probably do things the exact same way. I have learned such incredible lessons through all of the wounds. The proof of the scars left on my life have proven to be just how merciful He is. I am daily striving to be an encouragement to others. I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for my little 'ole life!!

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 the 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
