I used to wish that I could rewrite history
I used to dream that each
Mistake could be erased
That 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 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

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

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
