I carry that scar tissue

I carry that scar tissue
wounds that have never healed
I wear my shame, my pain,
as a tattoo on my living flesh…
 
I know in part, only,
pain my sin inflicted,
grief I caused those I love,
hurt I have caused God…
 
Christ carried my sin,
my shame to Golgotha,
He died to redeem me,
from my eternal damnation…
 
But I still carry scar tissue,
my guilt remains with me,
consequences of my sins,
will ever be with me…
