What Scars Are For

Intro:
Dm      Bb       F       Am
Verse:
Dm      
These scars aren’t pretty
Bb
But they’re a part of me
F                                  Am
And will not ever fade away
Dm
These marks tell a story
Bb
Of me down in the valley
F                                                          Am
And how You reached in with Your grace
           Bb         C
And healed me

Chorus:
           Bb                     F
They remind me of Your faithfulness
          Dm                             C
And all You brought me through
           Bb                      F
They teach me that my brokenness
         Dm                  C
Is something You can use
           Bb                              F
They show me where I’ve been and
                 Dm                  C
That I’m not there any more
                       Bb                             C        Dm   
That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for
               Bb             F           Am
what scars are for

Verse 2:
Erase, rewind
Wish I could every time
The hurt, the pain cuts so deep
But when I’m weak You’re strong
And in Your power I can carry on
And my scars say that You won’t ever leave

Chorus:
Bb                    F
They remind me of Your faithfulness
   Dm                    C
And all You brought me through
   Bb                   F
They teach me that my brokenness
    Dm                 C
Is something You can use
             Bb                       F
They show me where I’ve been and
                Dm                    C
That I’m not there any more
                    Bb                           C         F
That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for

Bridge:
   Bb  
I see it on the cross
Dm   C
The nails You took for me
Dm    Bb
Scars can change the world
Dm   C
Scars can set me free

Chorus:
                Bb                     F
They remind me of Your faithfulness
                         Dm                    C
And all You brought me through
             Bb                         F
They teach me that my brokenness
          Dm                    C
Is something You can use
           Bb                     F
They show me where I’ve been and
                  Dm                  C
That I’m not there any more
                    Bb                            C         
That’s what scars, that’s what scars
Dm                                        C/E         F/A Bb  
They show me that’s what scars are for
                    C  Dm       
What scars are for
   F/A  Bb         
What scars are for
