We have battle scars

The battle scars are ours

They show the journey

Meant for us only

The trials along the way

How we prayed every day

What made us stronger

As our days got longer

How we could plainly see

What was meant to be

They show God guided us

How He gained our trust

The motivation within

How we learned to win

How far our desire would go

Ways we would grow

The battle scars show pain

What we knew we’d gain

The power we feel

What we know is real

What fills our hearts

How every moment starts

What fills us to the core

What moves us more

How we learned to sit still

While accepting God’s will

What we used to fear

How God was always near

The beautiful place

Filled with guidance and grace

What we want to hold

The story that should be told

And the shining light

We follow day and night

As we look at the battle scars

That are ours
