"Less Like Scars" -- Sara Groves

I first heard this song by Sara Groves, "Less Like Scars," a couple of years ago, and immediately loved it.  I think what appealed to me was the sense of hope, strength, and victory in the lyrics.

I don't know if there's a person on earth who doesn't ever go through periods of failure, despair, brokenness . . . as this song speaks about.  And when I first listened to Sara's song I didn't know in the near future I'd be entering a harrowing, difficult time in my own life.  But this past year has been an extremely hard one-- I won't go into details about the circumstances, but for me, the lyric content of "Less Like Scars" is something I now more fully identify with.  And I'm glad . . . not because of the bumps in the road, but because of new insights and growth.

Here is a lyrics video-- These words are awesome and amazing; I also think the melody and rhythm in the song are fantastic.  It was written by Sara Groves and Nathan Orville Sabin.
