JD & Rebecca Ray - A Few Old Battle Scars

I was born in trenches, I'm no stranger to the war
I became fevered with the battle, as I found what we were fighting for
There came a wound that hurt so deeply
I feared my mind forever marred
Then Jesus touched and he healed completely
Not destroyed, just slightly scarred

A few old battle scars remind the soldier of where he's been
A purple heart upon his chest, a hard-fought battle against sin
A few scrapes in the last fight, but not our last fight, not by far
Another trophy for the king of kings, a few old battle scars

You can get down in the battle, don't give up, just call on him
No matter what the odds are, reinforcements he will send
And the wound will not be mortal, defeat lies forever more
As you stand and count your victories, just counting the battle scars

It's a few old battle scars reminds the soldier of where he's been
A purple heart upon his chest, a hard-fought battle against him
A few scrapes in the last fight, but not our last fight, not by far
Another trophy for the king of kings, and a few old battle scars

A few scrapes in the last fight, but not our last fight, not by far
Oh, what joy winning the battle brings
Sounds of triumph in my ears still ring
Another trophy for the king of kings, and a few old battle scars
