Bears the Mark — by The War Scroll — ★ 4.75 — #Worship #TrapSoul #EmoRap #PopRNB #ChristianRap #Modern

Verse 1

I stop to count the silence

Where a stranger used to stand

Rumours scatter like the rooftops

Of a city I don't understand

I keep naming every distance

Between the lines we're told to draw

But there's a weight I keep forgetting

Underneath the labels and the law

Pre-Chorus

Something sacred

Something older

Holding steady at the core

Chorus

The image still remains

Through the arguing and the pain

Every face I almost gave up on

Still bears the mark and the frame

The image still remains

When the verdicts cut both ways

Teach me how to look and love again

The image still remains

Post-Chorus

Image

Image

Still remains

Still remains

Verse 2

Slow my judgment at the doorway

Guard the words before they fly

Fear can raise a thousand fences

Mercy finds another way inside

I don't need to win this argument

To hold a heart with humble hands

Truth can walk with patience in it

And still understand

Pre-Chorus

Quick to listen

Slow to speak

Give me courage to be meek

Chorus

The image still remains

Through the arguing and the pain

Every face I almost gave up on

Still bears the mark and the frame

The image still remains

When the verdicts cut both ways

Teach me how to look and love again

The image still remains

Bridge

If I disagree

Let me still love

If I stand alone

Keep my heart soft

Not because the truth rewrites

But because the image stays

Still sacred in the stranger

Still bright in every gaze

Final Chorus

The image still remains

Before the lines get drawn

The image still remains

Before the wars are worn

Teach me how to look and love again

The image still remains
