Love's Enduring Scars

In the halls of hatred under scornful eyes The Savior stood in silence bearing no disguise Struck by hands He fashioned beaten without cause In every wound a whisper of love's enduring laws Love's enduring scars marks of our salvation In every bruise a prophecy's fulfillment For us He bore the sin the weight of all creation In His silence our victory's testament Mocked as a false prophet yet fulfilling every word The Lamb led to the slaughter His cries left unheard "By His wounds we are healed" the ancient promise made In every act of violence our debt He fully paid Love's enduring scars marks of our salvation In every bruise a prophecy's fulfillment For us He bore the sin the weight of all creation In His silence our victory's testament See Him there the Man of Sorrows acquainted with our grief Taking upon Himself the pain for our relief Though His visage was marred more than any man In His marred form salvation's perfect plan Love's enduring scars marks of our salvation In every bruise a prophecy's fulfillment For us He bore the sin the weight of all creation In His silence our victory's testament So let us not forget the price He paid so dear In every mark upon Him our redemption clear For by His perfect sacrifice by love's enduring scars We find our life our hope beneath the stars
