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
