What Scars Are For Lyrics - Overcomer - Mandisa

These scars aren't pretty 

But they're a part of me 

And will not ever fade away 

These marks tell a story 

Of me down in the valley 

And how You reached in with Your grace 

And healed me 

They remind me of Your faithfulness 

And all You brought me through 

They teach me that my brokenness 

Is something You can use 

They show me where I've been 

And that I'm not there any more 

That's what scars, that's what scars are for 

What scars are for 

Erase, rewind 

Wish I could every time 

The hurt, the pain cuts so deep 

But when I'm weak 

You're strong, and in Your power I can carry on 

And my scars say that You won't ever leave 

They remind me of Your faithfulness 

And all You brought me through 

They teach me that my brokenness 

Is something You can use 

They show me where I've been 

And that I'm not there any more 

That's what scars, that's what scars are for 

I see it on the cross 

The nails You took for me 

Scars can change the world 

Scars can set me free 

They remind me of Your faithfulness 

And all You brought me through 

They teach me that my brokenness 

Is something You can use 

They show me where I've been 

And that I'm not there any more 

That's what scars, that's what scars 

You show me that's what scars are for 

What scars are for yeah 

What scars are for (What scars are for)
