Less Like Scars

We have never found a song that has more described this last year and a half for us (have we said that before?). We are walking with friends through similar tragedies right now and we can honestly say that the healing does look like this…a year and a half later. It’s still extremely hard, but it’s better than it was and we feel the hopefulness that God is creating something beautiful out of our broken lives. Download this song, or buy/rent the cd. It is full of truth. The lyrics are inspired, but you have to hear the song to get the whole impact.
Here’s to character, Bottoms up!

Less Like Scars
by Sara Groves
It’s been a hard year • But I’m climbing out of the rubble • These lessons are hard • Healing changes are subtle • But every day it’s… • Less like tearing more like building • Less like captive more like willing • Less like breakdown more like surrender • Less like haunting more like remember • And I feel you here • And you’re picking up the pieces • Forever faithful • It seemed out of my hands a bad situation • But you are able • And in your hands the pain and hurt • look less like scars and more like character • • Less like a prison more like my room • Less like a casket more like a womb • Less like dying more like transcending • Less like fear, less like an ending • • And I feel you here • And you’re picking up the pieces • Forever faithful • It seemed out of my hands a bad situation • But you are able • And in your hands the pain and hurt • look less like scars • • Just a little while ago • I couldn’t feel the power or the hope • I couldn’t cope, I couldn’t feel a thing • Just a little while back • I was desperate, broken, laid out • Hoping you would come • • And I need you • And I want you here • And I feel you… • • And I feel you here • And you’re picking up the pieces • Forever faithful • It seemed out of my hands a bad situation • But you are able • And in your hands the pain and hurt • look less like scars • And in your hands the pain and hurt • look less like scars • And in your hands the pain and hurt • look less like scars • And more like character • •
