Pour yourself like precious gold
Into what is broken
Take these pieces, make me whole
Beauty still unfolding
Even in my wounds I see
Jesus, You've been good to me
Scars of gold
How You hold my heart together
Sew Your threads of faithfulness
Deep into my story
May my life be broken, blessed
Shimmering with glory
Even in my wounds I see
Jesus, You've been good to me
Scars of gold
How You hold my heart together
Through Your tears I hear you pray
"Let this cup be taken"
Yet You drink it anyway
Though Your hands are shaking
Even in Your wounds I see
Jesus, You've been good to me
Scars of gold
How You hold my heart together
Someday soon I know I'll see
Your scarred hands reach out for me
Healing for eternity
And love forever
