Less Like Scars

My friend Amy (not my sister, though she's an Amy and my friend, too!) had me listen to this song a while back and the more I think about the lyrics, the more I like it. I hope you like it too... Praise to the God who heals, transforms, and brings new life!

Less Like Scars
By Sara Groves

It’s been a hard year
But I’m climbing out of the rubble
These lessons are hard
Healing changes are subtle
But every day it’s…
Less like tearing and more like building
Less like captive more like willing
Less like breakdown more like surrender
Less like haunting more like remember
And I feel you here
And you’re picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands a bad situation
But you are able
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars and more like character
Less like a prison more like my room
Less like a casket more like a womb
Less like dying more like transcending
Less like fear, less like an ending
And I feel you here
And you’re packing up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands a bad situation
But you are able
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars
Just a little while ago
I couldn’t feel the power or the hope
I couldn’t cope, I couldn’t feel a thing
Just a little while back
I was desperate, broken, laid out
Hoping you would come
And I need you and I want you here
And I feel you…
And I want you here
And you’re picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seems out of my hands a bad situation
But you are able
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars
And more like character
