Grief and hope intertwine in this poignant reflection on loss and the afterlife. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and regret for missed opportunities to cherish time with a loved one who has passed away. Despite the heartache, there's solace in believing that the departed are now free from pain, residing in a place where all wounds are healed. The recurring theme of "scars" symbolizes both earthly suffering and divine redemption, suggesting that while humans bear emotional scars from loss, the only physical scars in Heaven belong to Christ, who provides comfort and eternal peace. This juxtaposition offers a bittersweet comfort: although grief persists, there is hope in eventual reunion and eternal healing.
Scars in Heaven
Lyrics
If I had only known the last time would be the last time
I would've put off all the things I had to do
I would've stayed a little longer, held on a little tighter
Now what I'd give for one more day with you
'Cause there's a wound here in my heart where something's missing
And they tell me that it's gonna heal with time
But I know you're in a place where all your wounds have been erased
And knowing yours are healed is healing mine
The only scars in Heaven, they won't belong to me and you
There'll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven are on the hands that hold you now
I know the road you walked was anything but easy
You picked up your share of scars along the way
Oh, but now you're standing in the sun, you've fought your fight and your race is run
The pain is all a million miles away
The only scars in Heaven, they won't belong to me and you
There'll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven, yeah, are on the hands that hold you now
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, for the hands that hold you now
There's not a day goes by that I don't see you
You live on in all the better parts of me
Until I'm standing with you in the sun, I'll fight this fight and this race I'll run
Until I finally see what you can see, oh-oh
The only scars in Heaven, they won't belong to me and you
There'll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven are on the hands that hold you now
