Battle Scars and Grace

(mmm-hmmm) (yeah) Raised where the iron rails rust in the rain

Learned early how to swallow up the pain

Got a heart wrapped tight in cold razor wire

Every bridge behind me burnt in the fire Then you stepped across

the borderline

Looking at my broken mess like it could shine

I tried to turn,

I tried to run away

(tried to run)

Never thought a sinner like me had a prayer to say

Come lay your heavy load right here with me

I see the man behind the misery

No matter how the winter tries to freeze

Love will bring the wild heart to its knees

(bring it to its knees)

I come from alleyways and bruised-up hands

You come from open skies and promised lands

You took this hardened heart and held it sweet Turned all the

bitter asphalt in the street Into a garden where a man could

stand

Forgiven by the grace of your open hand

I spent a lifetime counting every loss

Now you're showing me what redemption really costs

(yeah,

yeah)

Come lay your heavy load right here with me (lay it down)

I see the man behind the

misery

No matter how the winter tries to freeze

Love will bring the wild heart to its knees

(bring it on home)

Two worlds colliding in the midnight heat

Found my salvation right at your feet (ohhh,

save my soul)

(I got you now)

I was lost in the cold,

now I'm home in your light (home in the light) Scars on

my heart finally healing tonight (healing tonight,

love is on your side) (yeah)
