LESS LIKE SCARS
To all of you who are hurting...may this song minister to you and bring hope.
I'm especially thinking of and praying for my dear friends tonight...Paige, Cindy, and Kelly. You know why...and so does He.
LESS LIKE SCARS by Sara Groves
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

What a beautiful song! Who sings it? It sounds like Twila Paris but I don't know what she looks like. Thanks Elysa!
Love, Kelly
Oops! I forgot to say, didn't I? Its Sara Groves. I just discovered her a few months ago. So many of her songs really touch my heart. I'll be posting another one soon entitled PAINTING PICTURES OF EGYPT. The words are very powerful...especially the last couple of lines. And I used I SAW WHAT I SAW when I shared about my Swaziland trip at church. That video, which I've posted here and can be seen at YouTube, makes me BAWL!
Going now to credit Sara Groves in my blog post. Thanks for letting me know, Kelly!
Love you SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elysa
How funny! I came back to listen to it again and saw that it said Sara Groves... and thought I must have missed it and came here to post that I saw where you put who sang it... LOL!
I LOVE you SO MUCH too!!!
and, thank you for your comment on my post today. It meant a lot.
Funny about the name, Kelly!
And I said what I said in the comment at your blog because its TRUE! And I'm sure I'm not the only one you've continued to bless despite the "benching". I can tell that from the people who read and comment at your blog.
one of my fave SG songs.... but then again almost every one of her songs is my fave SG song!
