Less Like Scars

This morning I wanted to blog a bit of how I'm feeling spiritually right now, this second, this moment. But as I tried putting it into words, my efforts at really telling you what's going on in my heart completely flopped. However, I found a song that has written my heart out already. I think that's why I love music so much. Because someone much more brilliant than me can put into words what I want to say but can't. So I'll just post the lyrics and play you the song. It's by Sara Groves, one of my favorite Christian singer/songwriters. This song is so beautiful and I think everyone has been here at one point or another...and if you haven't...you will. :) Enjoy, Dear Reader/Listener!

Less Like Scars

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
It's 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 know you're here
And you're picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands, a bad, bad situation
But you are able

And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars

And more like
Character
