Not all scars are hidden in a broken heart

But many are in the open, visible from the start

I’ve already seen a few of yours

And you say there are even more

I say your scars are marks of beauty

Of things that tried, but couldn’t keep you away from me

Each shows the world something you survived

None could kill you though they all tried

I should like to kiss them, each and every one

To show my appreciation for what God has done

Show me your scars and I’ll show you mine

Of things that couldn’t kill us before our time

Not all scars are in the open, visible from the start

But many are hidden in a broken heart

Though no one sees them they’re there just the same

And undeniable is the pain from whence they came

Even though healing is taking place

We still find occasional tears upon our face

But we’re so blessed to feel safe enough to reveal

Even our deepest wounds that God does heal

Please don’t doubt your beauty, because you really are

Beautiful not in spite of, but because of your scars

So show me your scars and I’ll show you mine

As we begin to walk together through time
