Good Saturday morning. I wanted to share a song with you that has really touched my heart. It is "Heal the Wound" from Point of Grace.
Here are the lyrics.
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
And 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
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
And heal the wound but leave the scar
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
And heal the wound but leave the scar
The part that really caught my ear was:
"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
And heal the wound but leave the scar."
I have always wanted to forget where I came from because it always made me feel so dirty and bad. I knew I was free from my past and that God had cleansed me but I wanted to never remember it again. I have tried to cover those scars all of my life. Even though the wounds are healed I didn't know how to really deal with the scars. But seeing those scars is what keeps me on my knees and reminds me how merciful God is. Even though I'm free-Heal the wound but PLEASE God, leave the scars!
Here is the video from YouTube. Make sure to go all the way down on my page and pause my other music before you play this video. Listen to the words and let God minister to you through this song like He has me!

I agree, Michelle. This song really speaks to me too. I was driving home the other day listening to it, and thinking about how I wish I could undo the past. But we certainly can learn from our mistakes, and as we see our scars we'll remember just how far God has brought us.
Thanks for posting this, it's really good stuff!
Love ya!

I can't add more to what you and April have already said except Amen. Thank you for this Michelle.
love, Tina :)
I love this song!
I have never heard that song...I will add it to my i-pod.
It makes me think...as we are on this journey to have healthy bodies that glorify the Lord, our aches and pains from exercising, our arm jiggles and double chins...can be "scars" somewhat to remind us that we can only conquer this with the mercy, grace, and power of God working through us. I guess the stretch marks on my belly can be the permanent "scars" that will remind me of where I've been and how I will surely go back there if I don't let the Lord be in control of every aspect of my life.
