SCARS
(c) Words and Music: Robert Jenkins/ Donna Aylor

You got your first scar in the second grade 
When you fell off your bike in the yard one day
But your Momma kissed all the hurt away 
And soon you forgot all about it  

You learned to live with the bruises and cuts
That’s just being a kid a part of “growing up”
Life can be painful and life can be rough
And there’s no easy way around it  

CHORUS
BUT SCARS  HEAL
THOUGH FOR AWHILE YOU MIGHT FEEL
THE HURT IS TOO MUCH
AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOUR WORLD’S COME APART
REMEMBER YOU’RE NOT ALONE
WE ALL HAVE SCARS OF OUR OWN
AND YOU’LL ALWAYS BE LOVED
FOR THE BEAUTIFUL GIFT YOU ARE
BENEATH THE SCARS 

Well early last summer when we got the news
And the doctor explained what he had to do
I sensed your fear but somehow I knew
The grace would be there to get through it
	
Sometimes the battles we fight in this life
Can cut so much deeper than the blade of a knife
The scars which we don’t see we carry inside
And we live with the heartache to prove it

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
They say that up in heaven
God wipes all our tears away
And pulls together all life’s broken pieces
And there is only one reminder
Of a world  once filled with pain
The scars we’ll see there in the hands of ….Jesus

HALF CHORUS
CUZ YOU’RE NOT ALONE
WE ALL HAVE SCARS OF OUR OWN
AND YOU’LL ALWAYS BE LOVED
FOR THE BEAUTIFUL GIFT YOU ARE
BENEATH THE SCARS
BENEATH THE SCARS
