Heal The Wound

Heal The Wound by Point of Grace

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

I had never heard of this song until my friend, Lauren, played it for me on her iTunes and once I heard it I got hooked onto it. The 2nd time I listened to it, I cried my eyes out because the message is so powerful and any song that makes me cry becomes a "life-song" for me.
The chorus was what really got to me. "Heal the wound but leave the scar. A reminder of how merciful You are." That's genius! I actually wish that I would've thought of that...ha ha.
God puts us through circumstances. Some cut us deep and some aren't as harsh, but either way we get "wounded" somehow. God only puts us through circumstances to help us grow in our relationship with Him and to get us to lean on Him more and more.
People think that when God puts us through tough times, that He doesn't care about us and that He only does that for entertainment. I used to feel that way, but then I came to realize that He was only growing me in my faith and drawing me closer to Him.
I am still going through a rough time, but I'm leaning on God now more than ever and I know that He will make things ok again. It's just gonna take time.

Lean on God. He will bring you through whatever is going on in your life!
In Christ,
