Leeland's song 'Scars Turn Gold' is a worship ballad about God's redemptive healing. It uses the metaphor of scars being transformed into gold to convey that past pain and suffering are not wasted but made beautiful by God. The lyrics express hope in future restoration, referencing the moment when believers will see Jesus and touch His scars, while He touches theirs. The song draws on the biblical idea that present suffering is preparing an eternal glory, as found in 2 Corinthians 4:17. It offers comfort to those who have experienced deep hurt, affirming that God is making all things beautiful in His time.

Healing all our wounds with gold

Making all things beautiful

We shall behold

Our scars turn gold

Healing all our wounds with gold

Making all things beautiful

We shall behold

Our scars turn gold

He's taken years and years

Of pain and tears

And He's making something beautiful

One day when I see You, Jesus

I'll touch Your scars

And You'll touch mine

One day when I see You, Jesus

I'll touch the scars in Your hands

And You'll touch mine

All this suffering

All this pain

Is preparing with a way

Is nothing compared to the glory

That will be revealed to us in You

Christ Jesus

We shall behold

Our scars turn to gold

You're making all things beautiful again.
