Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to hide the places
Where life had wounded me
Afraid that if they saw them
They'd only see defeat
But now I see them differently
They're chapters of Your grace
Every scar reminds me
Of something You replaced
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't have to hide
What You already healed
My story isn't shame
It's proof that You are real
[Chorus]
You turned my scars into praise
My tears into testimony
The places I thought were ruined
Now tell the story of Your glory
You took the worst of my days
And somehow made them holy
You turned my scars into praise
Now let my whole life tell Your story
[Verse 2]
I wouldn't choose the heartbreak
I wouldn't choose the pain
But I have seen Your goodness
Growing through the rain
And if somebody's hurting
The way I used to hurt
Let them look at what You did in me
And know that healing works
[Chorus]
You turned my scars into praise
My tears into testimony
The places I thought were ruined
Now tell the story of Your glory
[Bridge]
Here's every broken piece
Here's every memory
Here's every question
I couldn't understand
I place them at Your feet
And finally I can see
Nothing I surrendered
Was wasted in Your hands
[Final Chorus]
You turned my scars into PRAISE
My tears into TESTIMONY
What I thought would be my ending
Became another page of Your glory
You took the worst of my days
And wrote Your mercy through me
You turned my scars into praise
So let my whole life tell Your story
[Outro]
My scars have a story...
And the story is grace.
