What Scars Are For

	  		
Intro: Dm F F Am 


verse 1 

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

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



verse 2 

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

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



Bridge 

F 
I see it on the cross 
C 
The nails You took for me 
F 
Scars can change the world 
C 
Scars can set me free 


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