I love this song. It makes it positive. Scars. In a sense. I don’t love the entire song for it’s way too religious for my liking (Mandisa is a Christian singer), yet I listen to it over and over.

These quotes are what the song means to me. So even though I don’t like the religious aspect of it, I love the song.

Lyrics

These scars aren’t pretty
But they’re a part of me
And will not ever fade away
These marks tell a story
Of me down in the valley
And how You reached in with Your grace
And healed me

They remind me of Your faithfulness
And all You brought me through
They teach me that my brokenness
Is something You can use
They show me where I’ve been
And that I’m not there any more
That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for
What scars are for

Erase, rewind
Wish I could every time
The hurt, the pain cuts so deep
But when I’m weak
You’re strong, and in Your power I can carry on
And my scars say that You won’t ever leave

They remind me of Your faithfulness
And all You brought me through
They teach me that my brokenness
Is something You can use
They show me where I’ve been
And that I’m not there any more
That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for

I see it ….
Scars can change the world
Scars can set me free

They remind me of Your faithfulness
And all You brought me through
They teach me that my brokenness
Is something You can use
They show me where I’ve been
And that I’m not there any more
That’s what scars, that’s what scars
You show me that’s what scars are for
What scars are for yeah
What scars are for (What scars are for)

    1. lol I’ve more than enough scars that I really wish I could get rid of and can’t (not saying I never want to create more, but not for the scars, I hate them).

        1. It’s actually be super cool to do such a thing! Though yeah, I doubt it. If I care enough one day maybe I’ll pay an absolute fortune and try laser. But that’s not here and now.

  1. It’s nice seeing the lyrics – since YouTube has been around, and some videos show the lyrics, I have learned the lyrics to songs I have singing along to with the wrong words for many years. Let that be your grin to start your Monday off just right Eliza … 🙂

      1. Well in the case of the Mike Posner song “Move On”, when I read the lyrics after listening to it a few times, I realized I missed a lot of things the first time around. There used to be a website awhile ago where people would post what they THOUGHT the lyrics were as opposed to what they were. I think the website was so popular that someone compiled them and made a book.
