“Scars In God’s Hands”
08 October 2024 Mid Indian Ocean

Burdens seem so heavy
Smile has gone away
Mind has blown unhealthy
With the scars, heart so lofty

Then the savior came
Full of grace and beauty
Left His throne
Arms open wide, He came along

Came to dwell and came to heal
With peace and healing from within
To the lowly and of a broken spirit
To the contrite and of a humble heart

Chorus

Scars in God’s hand
beauty that heals my heart
drenched in the blood
Of our savior’s heart

Scars in God’s hands
Was the fountain of blood
Held by His hands
His overflowing heart

With arms stretched wide
From the east to the west
Unending love our mind can’t confess
Beauty for ashes he hand-fully made
The scars in God’s hands
Was the SIGH so men can praise

Hallelujah 7X

Owning your diverse defeats can win your life’s greatest battles for he that conquers himself is greater than he that takes the world
