I used to wish that I could rewrite history   I used to dream that each mistake could be erased   Then I could just pretend   I never knew the me back then      I used to pray that You would take this shame away   Hide all the evidence of who I've been   But it's the memory of the place You brought me from   That keeps me on my knees and even though I'm free      Heal the wound but leave the scar   A reminder of how merciful You are   I am broken, torn apart, take the pieces of this heart   And heal the wound but leave the scar      I have not lived a life that boasts of anything   I don't take pride in what I bring   But I'll build an altar with the rubble that You've found me in   And every stone will sing of what You can redeem      Heal the wound but leave the scar   A reminder of how merciful You are   I am broken, torn apart, take the pieces of this heart   And heal the wound but leave the scar      Don't let me forget   Everything You've done for me   Don't let me forget   The beauty in the suffering      Heal the wound but leave the scar   A reminder of how merciful You are   I am broken, torn apart, take the pieces of this heart   Heal the wound but leave the scar      Heal the wound but leave the scar   A reminder of how merciful You are   I am broken, torn apart, take the pieces of this heart   And heal the wound but leave the scar, leave the scar
