You Chose The Scars ft. Lara Neumann Lyrics

A body beaten without cause

A crown of thorns instead of majesty

A punishment that was not Yours

With every strike

You could have spared Yourself

To be rejected and despised

To feel the wounds

And take the stripes for me

To hear the shouts of "Crucify"

With every cry

You could have saved Yourself

But You chose the scars

And wear my name upon Your palms

You chose the scars

And kept the marks

Of Your love

To show compassion for the lost

To give assurance to the doubting soul

To bring forgiveness through the cross

For every heart

Jesus you gave Yourself

'Cause You chose the scars

And wear my name upon Your palms

You chose the scars

And kept the marks

Of Your love

No greater love than this

You died so I could live

Before the world began

My life was in Your hands

No greater love than this

You died so I could live

Before the world began

My life was in Your hands

You chose the scars

And wear my name upon Your palms

You chose the scars

And kept the marks

Of Your love
