Wounds
I was wounded in the battle,I was healed by Your grace,
Your goodness changed the way
That I look upon Your face.
The scars left behind
Remind me of all the times
You took my pain,
With all my shame,
And used it all to glorify your name.
It's crazy how you used the wounds
To break and shape and change my groove.
It's crazy how the pain
Caused me to trust in You.
I have no idea what I would do
If it had not been for You.
Scars
The knife is sharp,
The cut is deep,
Somewhere inside my heart
I can feel it bleed.
It'll leave a scar
Never to be erased.
It hurts so much,
But it's worth the pain.
Every scar on my heart tells a story.
A story I'll never forget.
Every wound taught me something important;
A lesson that will always stick.
The lessons I learned from the scars on my heart
Include some things I cannot tell.
But one theme I found through the pain that I've felt;
I've learned that God will always prevail.
No matter how deep the cut
No matter how hard it was
My God brought me through,
And His promises still ring true.
He will never leave me.
He will always care.
He will always love me.
I've no need to fear.
I don't deserve the love that he gave.
I don't deserve the price that he paid.
It doesn't seem worth it to me,
But He did it for you and for me.
So no matter the cost,
I'll look to the cross,
And trust in Him,
And remember where I've been.
Something I have been thinking about a lot lately is how much God takes the worst and hardest times of our lives and uses it for His glory. The weird thing about this is God tends to keep the good part of the hard time a secret until way later in life. As a Senior in college, I have been reflecting on things I have learned and what God has taught me in the past four years, and I have realized how much the things that left the deepest scars are the things I learned the most from. I realized without these wounds I would be so different and so much farther away from God.
Be encouraged my friends, God is going to use whatever trials you are facing for more then you can ever imagine.
