SCARS OF LOVE

I came down to man by way of Bethlehem in a body prepared for me

I came with a plan to save fallen man that would lead me to Calvary’s tree

I walked upon earth in its grime and dirt to tell of heaven above

But they wouldn’t believe me and Judas deceived me and they gave me these scars of love

CHORUS

There are scars in my hands and scars on my feet and scars upon my head

There are scars on my back where they beat me with whips until I was almost dead

When I finally died they pierced my side and gave me that final scar

But these scars of love opened heaven above and today that’s where they are

These scars that I wear man inflicted down there but I knew that it had to be

Man’s sin must be paid a sacrifice made and that sacrifice had to be me

So I gladly shed the blood that I bled to rescue man from the grave

And the scars I display you will see there someday the only way man could be saved
