Glorious wounds

He conquered death
When he rose from the grave
But why do his wounds
From the cross still remain?
The king of glory, his scars tell the story
Of where he has been
He passed through the doors
That were locked within me
Granting forgiveness and offering peace
Others had told me
I doubted their story, but now I believe

Love made his wounds glorious
Made his wounds glorious
I see the nail marks
I put my hands into his side
Through his wounds made glorious
His mercy pours out to us
He's not ashamed
His wounds still remain to testify

My lord and my God
He showed me that when he was pierced deep within
His heart remained open to love and forgiveness
The holes became holy, the scars sang of mercy

So that we might live
If God can bring good out of evil and sin
He'll use our wounds if they're given to him
Transforming our story
From glory to glory as love enters in

Come make my wounds glorious
Make my wounds glorious
Jesus come into the scars of my sin
And fill them with light
Through my wounds made glorious
You lead me to holiness
I'm not ashamed; my wounds still remain to testify

The greater the sin, the brighter the light
When love enters in, his mercy will shine
Will you let him come in?
Will you let his love come in?

He'll make your wounds glorious
Make your wounds glorious
There is no sin that christ won't forgive
That's why he died
He'll use your brokenness to lead you to holiness
Don't be ashamed
Your wounds still remain to testify

He made our wounds glorious
Made our wounds glorious
The broken body of Christ
We offer our lives to heal the whole world
Through our wounds made glorious
His mercy pours out through us
When we are raised, our wounds still remain to testify
How Jesus came into our pain and changed our lives
His wounds healed our lives

For the sake of his sorrowful passion
Have mercy on us and on the whole world
