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 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

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

Don't let me forget everything You've done for me

Don't let me forget the beauty in the suffering
