Lovely Traces Make For An Amazing Testament to Christ

I cannot go a single day without thanking our beautiful, loving Savior for using the bad decisions we make as human beings to not only speak of His grace and mercy, but to be a living testament to the faithfulness of the Lord. Each of our bad choices in life leave scars on our hearts. Each scar is a piece of you. A piece of your walk to find the only One worth seeking. Individually, each story can bring unbelievable pain upon your heart, but the Lord asks us to not just read one chapter of our lives, but finish the book. With each turned page, my sins are proven to be fantastically placed in my life so that I may have the opportunity to understand God's unconditional love for me (and YOU!). Embrace His comforting arms. He will never let go of you, no matter how undeserving we may be, because He has made exciting plans for us to live eternally with Him in a place too magnificent for words.

Live for the Lord. His Son died for you.



Lyrics:

I was consumed
By a life that I made
Destined to crash
Beat up and bruised
By the flashbacks of my own past
I tried to hide away
Till I heard you say

[Chorus:]
Lovely traces fall behind you
Turn around and you will see
Lovely traces to remind you
Everything that you've been through
What it took to get you to me

All my mistakes
Regrettable choices I'd like to forget
But somehow you make
All that I wasted useful again
I thought I fell from grace
But you can't erase

[Chorus:]
The lovely traces behind you
Turn around and you will see
Lovely traces to remind you
Everything that you've been through
What it took to get you to me

I lost my direction
'Cause I couldn't see
What a beautiful picture
You would complete in me

[Chorus:]
The lovely traces behind you
Turn around and you will see
Lovely traces to remind you
Everything that you've been through
What it took to get you to me
