Oil and Scars

[Intro] In the press of the days, I breathe through the grime Holding a seed of light, learning to climb [Verse 1] I walk through valleys where the shadows weigh heavy Crush after crush, the heart steadies, not petty Grapes become wine under patient, aching hands Oil blooms from olives, anointing that withstands The cost is steep, but the purpose is clear Sanctified through struggle, I draw near [Chorus] Scars become oil, scars become grace Testimony steady on a wounded face From trial to triumph, faith in the mold Endurance refined, a story told [Verse 2] Each bruise a lesson, each hurt a new hue The fragrance of faith rising, faithful and true Weight of the anointing, soft like a crown Strength in the burden, not worn to the ground [Pre-Chorus] I press into dawn, where mercy shines through I reach for the Father, I cling to the true [Chorus] Scars become oil, scars become grace Testimony steady on a wounded face From trial to triumph, faith in the mold Endurance refined, a story told [Bridge] The world may count the cost in coins and skin yet sanctified purpose lies deep within What once felt crushing now fragrant air Oil for the hungry, strength for the prayer [Verse 3] So I endure, not by sight but by trust Clinging to promises that never turn to dust The fragrance deepens as the pressure stays Sanctified through fire, I’m finding my ways [Chorus] Scars become oil, scars become grace Testimony steady on a wounded face From trial to triumph, faith in the mold Endurance refined, a story told [Outro] Let the scars sing of purpose, let the burden teach Oil and anointing within reach I carry the weight with a hopeful ring Faithful through suffering, becoming my king
