The Scars Are Real

Verse 1 You said you’d never believe it Till your hands could touch the pain All the words felt like whispers After loss and after shame Locked inside your questions Fear you could not heal Then He stood before you And said, “The scars are real” Chorus Oh, Thomas, the scars you see are real Every wound was meant to heal Fall to your knees and believe Grace is here for you to receive Oh, Thomas, let your doubt be still Love has conquered death’s cold hill You don’t have to reach to feel Oh, Thomas… the scars are real Verse 2 You carried all your sorrow Like a stone inside your chest Every hope felt buried Every prayer felt second-guessed But mercy stood before you With hands that time couldn’t steal And eyes that burned with promise Saying, “Child, the scars are real” Chorus Oh, Thomas, the scars you see are real Every wound was meant to heal Fall to your knees and believe Grace is here for you to receive Oh, Thomas, let your doubt be still Love has conquered death’s cold hill You don’t have to reach to feel Oh, Thomas… the scars are real Bridge Blessed are the ones who have not seen Still they trust in what will be But even in your trembling hands He meets you where you stand No shame in your questions No fear He won’t reveal The truth in His presence— The scars are always real Breakdown (soft) Fall down… fall down… Let your heart finally kneel… Final Chorus (big, powerful) Oh, Thomas, the scars you see are real Every wound was meant to heal Fall to your knees and believe He is all you’ll ever need Oh, Thomas, let your doubt be still Love has conquered death’s cold hill Now forever you can feel… Oh, Thomas… the scars are real Outro He showed you His hands So you would understand Faith isn’t blind— It’s held in His scars.
