Why do we hide
Each bruise
And each place
Where we are scarred?
*
Are we ashamed?
Do we believe that we are marred?
*
Our Heavenly Father
Wants to heal each bruise
And each scar
The ones on the surface
And the ones inside
That we bury on purpose
*
Our scars and bruises
Need not define who we are
And they should never
Cause us to be ashamed
*
While we heal
We need remember
We can walk confidently
In a love that’s real
The love of our Lord
Even when others
Seem to have no love to give
