Scars That Save

Ok most of the time it takes me a while to think of what to type about in my blog, but not today. I was listening to Kids in the way (weird name), a christian band, and looking up the lyrics for some of their songs. Well first of all they have some great songs, but the one that really caught my eye is called "Scars That Save". This song reminds me so much of my self. Sometimes it's so hard for me to see how Jesus could have died for me and that I am forgiven. I have done things that seem unforgivable in my eyes. He says in the song that he is dangerous, irrisponsible, arrogante, and feels unforgivable, but then Jesus shows him the scars that save. At the end of the song he pretty much says that it seems like an endless cycle: you mess up, you feel horrible for it, you beat yourself up cause you think thats what you deserve, but then Jesus shows you that he bore the scars that saved you from the pain and beating. Then he goes on to say that its killing him to know that He took the blame so he doesn't have to face God's judgement. Here are the lyrics:

Over and over your blood covers me.
How many times will it take me to see.
I am so dangerous.
I am so irresponsible.
Here I am, broken again, but then you show me,
you're wearing the scars that save.
How can you see me, as something so lovely.
Cause it's killing me that you took the blame.
Over and over it falls back to me.
My knees hit the floor and it's easy to see.
I am so arrogant.
I feel so unforgivable.
This is my same old song.
The one where I do it all wrong.
And I will try (fight) with all that I am to get it right in the end.


I do this I think more than anyone on earth. I beat myself up for the stuff that I have done. Jesus WANTS us to acknowlegde what He has done for us and accept Him as our Lord and Savior so He can become to blame, not us, for our sins. As J.R. said last night "that blows my mind and I hope that it will never stop blowing my mind".
