Scars

(album: A Messenger - 2013)

Defeated, wasted, broken, bruised
All because of my addictions
It left me crying and confused
It cuts right through my religion
My good intentions

Disregarded, overlooked
Sinking lower and lower
The shame erased my name and took
My face and made it like the others
Would I recover?

Today's another day
To learn from my mistakes
Knowing that we're not forsaken
They give life to where we've been
When we fall and start again
Scars remind us who we are

Self indulgent, death by pride
Forgetting all that I've been given
But still You've never left my side
Brought back to life,
You healed the broken
With arms wide open

Today's another day
To learn from my mistakes
Knowing that we're not forsaken
They give life to where we've been
When we fall and start again
Scars remind us who we are

I'm aching, I'm breaking
Lord, I'm suffocating, oh
Lord, wake me and save me
Use the abused me
Take me and fill me up

Today's another day
Forgiven of mistakes
Knowing that we're not forsaken
They give life to where we've been
When we fall and start again
Your scars remind us who we are

Today's another day
To learn from my mistakes
Knowing that we're not forsaken
They give life to where we've been
When we fall and start again
Scars remind us who we
Remind us who we are
