Verse:
In love the Savior bore the pain
of sin on Calvary,
though legions of the Heavenly hosts
gathered to set Him free.
Christ chose the path of death that day
as all creation cried,
and nails of darkness pierced the flesh
soon to be glorified.
Refrain:
But He chose to keep the scars,
the language of His love.
He chose to keep the scars
to show the meaning of
a sacrifice no one else could pay,
a depth of love shown no other way.
In His body glorified,
He chose to keep the scars.
Verse:
The third day Jesus loosed the cloths
that bound Him in the tomb.
In radiant light the darkness fled.
All Heaven and earth were moved.
The gates of Paradise flung wide
in the presence of the King!
His beauty filled the universe
as all creation sang!
Refrain:
But He chose to keep the scars,
the language of His love.
He chose to keep the scars
to show the meaning of
a sacrifice no one else could pay,
a depth of love shown no other way.
In His body glorified
He chose to keep the scars.
