[Intro — clean guitar] I used to hide the places That proved I’d been through anything Now I think they tell the story Better than the words I sing [Verse 1] There are marks nobody notices There are ones I still can see Little lines between the person That I was and who I’d be Every season left an imprint Every battle changed my shape Some were answers, some were questions Some were simply choosing faith I used to wish I made it through Without the damage showing But maybe healed doesn’t mean Nobody knows that you were broken [Pre-Chorus] Maybe grace was never Erasing where I’ve been Maybe grace is showing me Those places breathe again [Chorus] Listen to what the scars say I was hurt But I was held I was shaken But I never walked alone through hell I was weak But mercy stayed When my faith was bleeding You were faithful anyway So I won’t hide What You brought me through Every scar has got a story And every story points to You [Verse 2] There were prayers I prayed in anger There were tears I couldn’t stop There were moments when believing Was the only thing I had Not some fearless declaration Not some victory on display Just getting up another morning And choosing You again that day That doesn’t sound like triumph If you only count the noise But Heaven heard the whisper And You honored every choice [Pre-Chorus] Maybe strength was never Standing like I couldn’t fall Maybe strength was knowing You would catch me through it all [Chorus] Listen to what the scars say I was hurt But I was held I was shaken But I never walked alone through hell I was weak But mercy stayed When my faith was bleeding You were faithful anyway So I won’t hide What You brought me through Every scar has got a story And every story points to You [Bridge — instruments pull back] I don’t worship pain I don’t thank the darkness I don’t call the breaking good Just because You met me in it But I know what You can do You can walk into the wreckage And make something live again You can take what tried to end me And refuse to let it win [Build — drums rising] So let them see I’m not ashamed Healing doesn’t mean The marks all fade Let them see What mercy does I came through wounded But I came through loved [Final Chorus — enormous clean vocal] Listen to what the scars say I went through it You came too Every valley taught my heart Another reason to trust You I was weak But mercy stayed When my faith was bleeding You were faithful anyway So I won’t hide What You brought me through Every scar has got a story Every story points to You [Post-Chorus] I’m still here I still believe And maybe that’s the loudest testimony [Outro] I used to hide the places That proved I’d been through anything Now I let the scars speak
