Scars Lyrics

It wasn't the best, it wasn't the worst

I wasn't last, but I sure wasn't first

I didn't cry even though it burned

I didn't die even though it hurt

Suffering has a way of making you learn

I had my share and, baby, now it's your turn

I have scars etched on the depths of my heart

If you had to bear it, it would tear you apart

It would tear you apart.

The scars that I bear, baby, I earned

They're not for everyone, but for the reserved

God's been gracious more than I deserve

Jesus took all my pain and willingly suffered

It still leaves me in awe and wonder

The precious Savior put Himself under

He has scars etched on the depths of His heart

You and I couldn't bear it, it would tear us apart

It would tear us apart.

Sometimes I wish the scars weren't there

I wish I didn't carry the burden they bear

But maybe if they were gone, I wouldn't care

Maybe that's the reason why they're there
