Scars of Glory
Deep marks across my face, across my body.
Outside.
Deep marks across my heart, across my soul.
Inside.
Poor. Illiterate. Uneducated. Oppressed. Sold.
Work slave.
Beaten. Exploited. Bruised. Broken. Stolen.
Sex slave.
Trapped. Haunted. Tortured. Used. Shattered.
Victim.
Seen. Found. Rescued. Ransomed. Saved.
Survivor.
Restored. Valued. Honored. Redeemed. Healed.
Miracle.
Deep marks across my face, across my body.
Outside.
Deep marks across my heart, across my soul.
Inside.
Now filled by His hand, filled with His glory.
I now have . . .
Scars of Glory.
