    Lyrics:
    If I had only known the last time would be the last time
    I would have put off all the things I had to do
    I would have stayed a little longer, held on a little tighter
    Now what I’d give for one more day with you
    Cause there’s a wound here in my heart where something's missing
    And they tell me that it’s going to heal with time
    But I know you're in a place where all your wounds have been erased
    And knowing yours are healed is healing mine
    The only scars in heaven, they won’t belong to me and you
    There'll be no such thing as broken and all the old will be made new
    And the thought that makes me smile now even as the tears fall down
    Is that the only scars in heaven are on the Hands that hold you now
    I know the road you walked was anything but easy
    You picked up your share of scars along the way
    But now you’re standing in the sun, you’ve fought your fight and your race is run
    The pain is all a million miles away
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
    Hallelujah, for the Hands that hold you now
    There’s not a day goes by that I don’t see you
    You live on in all the better parts of me
    Until I’m standing with you in the sun,
    I'll fight this fight and this race I’ll run
    Until I finally see what you can see
    Mark Hall, Matthew West

      So sorry for your loss. I’m going through a tough time now with both parents. My mom just had major surgery and is in rehab yet her mental status is not great and really not sure she will make us back home at all. My dad is having a rough time dealing with his wife not home anymore and the thought of being alone is hurting him so much. I was in the phone with him and he just started to sob, told me he had to go and hung up. Only 2 times I’ve seen my dad cry. When my nephew, his grandson passed and the other day. Music has always been my go to, to help with emotions that I’m going through. I’ve heard this song before and it does hit home. Remember you are loved and cared for by God above all. Not sure what your beliefs or faith are but by the fact you believe your mom went to live with Jesus kind of give a clue!! Lol. Remember though Jesus is about a relationship not just spirituality. I’ll be praying for you during your grieving time. Be blessed my brother.

    I lost my husband about a month ago. He suffered with End Stage Renal Disease and all of the complications that go with it for over 8 years. He never lost his passion for the Lord and what He could do with his illness. Two weeks after a major surgery, he died of complications from the surgery in my arms at the hospital. I was so blessed to be there when he transitioned from this life, and opened his eyes in heaven. His scars were many. This song makes me sob, and yet brings so much comfort at the same time. I am so grateful that his scars are healed. This song brings the emotions of my heart and puts them into words. Thank you Casting Crowns!

This beautiful song brought much peace to my heart and is now (& will probably always remain) my favorite song EVER.

      Me too, but i just found this beautiful song last nite. Now i am more grateful THAN EVER, because i can listen to it whenever i desire to, because it confirms that MY JIM is with JESUS in Heaven now, no longer suffering as he was here on this Earth towards the end.. i truly KNOW that we will be together again eventually. This group, this Pastor, this talent is a superb source of Healing for those of us who suffer this loss of our dearly Beloveds. Do you know anyone at all, Ever who has not had to experience this? Of course not, they do not exist on this Earth. This is the duality of life on this planet. However, Jesus promised to never leave us alone and HE never abandons us, does HE? This is for all my loved ones on the Other Side of THE VEIL, I LOVE and Miss THEM ALL!!! MY JIM tho, well no one ever made me feel so LOVED as he does. Yes, He still does. I LOVE MY JIM more than mere words could ever convey ! This group; CASTING CROWNS, has already helped me to feel the Ultimate HEALING process going on inside of me. MAY GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY MEMBER OF THIS AMAZING TALENT, WELL INTO THE FUTURE SO THEY MAY BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO HELP US HEAL. THANK YOU< THANK YOU< THANK YOU ALL !!! 🙏🥰🌈❤️😇💔❤️🆗🙏🥰

I always prayed “God I know you have big plans for my son” and now the only thing that gets me through this pain is my faith and I have to believe this was his big plans for him.

    I was sitting in a parking lot of a Orthopedic Dr . I had driven my sister who is 65 to this appointment because of a horrific accident that broke her arm in many places. She had major surgery 2 week prior and she was about to see the scar for the first time. We had no idea how long the incision would be. As we sat there I played this song for us and it just gave us peace. As we were sitting in the waiting room waiting to be called back a friend texted us and sent this song and said you should listen to this.
    Well we just had. Praise God as the incision ended up being over a foot long and was very hard to look at. It truly helped her to hear this song going into that appointment. Gods blessing on all of you and especially those dealing with loss.

    Mark! Thank you so much for this “story behind the song” and for following the lead of The Holy Spirit to write the song!!! When you said “we need to ask The Father to help us release our ideas of who I knew that loved one was and start focusing on who they are now”, it brought a brand new revelation to a healing journey I’ve been on for nearly two years! I lost the love of my life unexpectedly in October 2019 and Jesus is the only reason I even survived the first year and I’m still healing in year two. My Andy had so many scars in this life, it’s been a tremendous comfort to think about him in perfect resurrection form with Jesus. Casting Crowns has released some of the most amazing songs in the past year or so (starting with Start Right Here) and y’all were already my all time favorite group!!! But Start Right Here, What if I Gave Everything, and now this song, have been life changing for me and a healing balm to my soul. I can’t even wait until we all get to Heaven and y’all will be performing the worship music that we get to sing to our Savior and our Father face-to-face!!

    3 weeks ago, I lost my 21 year old son in a plane crash. The plane went down and the scene was very much like that of the burned forest you show in the lyrics video. The plane caught on fire on impact. He and another young man were some how able to unbuckle their seatbelts and get out. The other young man had such severe burns he was unidentifiable and passed shortly after. My son was able to crawl to a nearby stream to soothe his 3rd degree burns that were on 95% of his body. When the first responders finally were able to reach him he was able to tell him his information and that they needed to find the other boy. He was taken by life flight, where his heart stopped for over 20 minutes, to the hospital. They were able to resuscitate him and we were able to say our goodbyes while he was hooked up to so many machines. The smell of his burned skin and hair still linger with me. His skin was soaking the hospital sheets with blood. It is something no parent should ever have to witness.
    Somehow I stumbled on this beautiful song today and have had tears streaming down my face as I know that my sweet boy has been made whole again, with no burns or scars. I have my dear Savior to thank for that. The video depicts beautifully a gentle stream, filled with love, light and hope. Thank you for warming my heart and reminding me that I will see my son again, as a perfect human, excited when we join him. What a glorious reunion that will be. Until then, we will strive to honor our sons as we worship Him and His holy name.❤️🙏🏼💔

    Thank you so much for recording this song. It has been 3 (very long) years since our youngest daughter took her own life. She was a believer, she was always very vocal about her faith, right up until the end. The last 2 months of her life, she was saying that all she wanted to do was go and be with the one person she knew loved her unconditionally. She knew her dad and I do, but she questioned the love of everyone else in her life, except her Jesus, and she wanted to be with Him so the pain of this life would end. She was in pain in almost every aspect of her life. (I won't get into the details here). Thank you for the perspective of thinking about her as she is now, not how she was then. As much as I miss her - and always will - it is a comfort to think about her as a whole person, out of pain, laughing, running, playing, and waiting to be able to hug me once again.

I posted this on Facebook and have had a lot of family and friends sending their prayers and support. I wish I would have known of this video before her memorial. She completely changed my life with her faith and love of God. Thank you for this song....God bless

She is in the arms of Jesus...able to speak and move, and maybe fly! I know we’ll see our loved ones again. And I know they are safe and cared for in Heaven. 💕🙏🏻

    My son was diagnosed in 2012 with a rare cancer that would form part of his daily life till he passed on the 29th June 2021. He used his gifts whenever an opportunity arose and all who were privileged to know him, loved him dearly, it was impossible but to love my Duncan. In the last 4 to 6 months of his life, I watched him slowly disappear, loss everything he was, his masculinity, the use of his legs, his dignity, his laughter, his ambition. Everything he was, was no longer. This song is helping me trust that were he is now, what he has now, is good and that all he suffered, is no more. I lived for my son and am finding it unbearable without him. Thank you for this song, it's much needed.

    Very true words spoken. We need to embrace the people we love in our lives, while they are still here with us. My mother passed away thirty years ago in a fatal car accident that too her life. She was 56 years old. I was devastated when she died. She was in a coma for two days. She never knew that I was by her bedside. But, at least, I was there. She was living in Miami at the time. I was living in Houston, Texas. As soon as I heard that she was in a fatal car accident, I flew to Miami the very next day. I'm very glad that I did. I had to be there for my dad, my sister and my brother. Not a day goes by that I don't think about my mother. She was a good person and a wonderful mother. Thank God, for the wonderful memories that I have of my childhood with my mother, my father, my sister and my brother. My brother passed away in July of 2013 from a massive heart attack. He was only 51 years old at the time of his death. I miss them both terribly! However, I know that I will see them someday in heaven. May they both rest in peace. 💖😥

    I lost my Mom last year a day before Mother's day. She was tired and ready to go home. The doctor's could have saved her, but her request was if she wound up back in the hospital again was to let her go. My brother's, sister's and I I had to do the hardest thing we ever did and was to let her go. She was ready to go home even though we wanted her to stay here. We really miss you Mama and know you are healed and happy. You're up there with our brother T.J. We still cry because we can't just pick up the phone and hear her voice or go sit with her and have coffee. We have to remind ourselves so much that she's with Jesus and not suffering anymore. We do feel like she looks down upon us and we even feel her presence every so often. So many reminders and it's not the same without her. 😢🥺

    Thank you for sharing this, Mark. I love to hear the stories behind the songs. My dad was a song leader, before we had Worship leaders. He often would tell the stories behind the hymns we sang. No chorus' back then. He went home in 2014 at the age of 94 fully alert and active. My mom went home 4 months before totally alert and active. They had served the Lord and been married 73 years. How blessed we kids were that they did not suffer!!!! Still miss them, but know where they are!!!

June 30 2021 we lost my nephew also a tragic loss. My sister requested this song be played at his services, your song touched my heart like nothing has in a very long time. Yesterday this appeared on my face book wall. Your story is powerful to me. My mama has had a hard time dealing with my daddy’s loss as they were married 67 1/2 years. I shared your story with her just minutes ago and I believe it will change her outcome from all our family losses. Thank you for sharing your heart with us.

She suffered so much but I was hoping she could of beat this. But her body had taken so much during the years of fighting that the last few days her body was shutting down. Now I have so much pain in my heart for her passing. I know I was selfish wanting her to live on. But I didn't want to bare the pain of losing her. I still cry today and feel a empty space in my heart. But I know she's not suffering and God has her in his hand. Until we meet again Kathy. You will always be missed.

(Dr failed her) but she was so ready. She had been for a long time. I had to let her go before she left. But with Dad it was sudden. These last few months have been hard for us 3 girls. But I know both of them don't hurt, they are not on pain and Dad can breathe again. I will forever miss them but know they are with God.

Before we even got to his last day on earth I had him listen to Scars In Heaven, This is the song I chose for his funeral. The part that says, If I had Only Known The Last Time Would Be The Last Time, and, I Would have stayed a little longer held on a little tighter. How true. There was not a dry eye at the service. I miss him so, so, much. But he has his legs he’s with his mom , sister and brother in a new home with a new life, and best of all he has no more scars from the accident that claim both his legs.

Just a senior in highschool while my sister was 14 and a freshman. I had the best childhood I could ever ask for. My parents were so in love. My dad was my best friend. We did so much together. He died suddenly, so I didn’t really get to say goodbye the way I wanted to. Thank you for this song. It makes me cry nearly every time. It truly captures how I feel about my dad.

    My dad rested in September 2021 after battling diabetes for long . We prayed for his healing though at some point it worsened. We just thank God that he rested though it's so painful. When he passed on, my heart literally broke so hard but my comfort is in the Lord I pray for more peace. This song causes me to tear so beautiful❤

    I lost my best friend and Pastor's wife this past February. I lost it when I heard this, I thought I void sing it at church, but neither myself nor my pastor are ready yet! I love you bestie and I'm so thankful you're in God's arms now! No more sorrow and no more pain perfect and whole!! See you soon or maybe later is all the same to the Lord.

    Thank you so much for this song it really has touched my heart so much at such a time of loss a young man that was a friend of ours our pastors son he was a special and kind person he was killed in a motorcycle accident ,and my daughter still really misses him when he came back home to visit he always spoke to her very kindly like she was his little sister she is special needs so it can be hard for her to keep friends ,but he was always kind and understanding with her he was very unique young man and I am sure he is an angel now watching over us all. 😍

    I just heard this song today and I believe God sent it at this time for me! I cried so much it scared my pain doctor. It came on right as I was pulling in at his office. The reason it touched me so much because my cousin who is a year younger than me was just found dead. I had taken care of him through back and neck surgeries after not seeing him a long time because I lived in NC. The Holy Spirit had been urging me to get back home to Oklahoma for years and finally got my chance and I think it was to be here for my family when they needed help. We haven’t even buried him yet. Making plans to bury him now and my cousin just now messaged me we will bury him Friday! I asked them to play this song for him! It’s such a blessing!

    Lost my Daughter and both my parents months apart in the same year. This song hits right thru the heart! Eagerly waiting for the Trumpet Blast, our Blessed hope! To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! To be with our Father in Heaven and see our Loved ones again, holding on to Gods Promises! Lord come quickly!

    Thank you for this beautiful song. I lost my 16 yr old son 4 years ago next month. "I'll fight this fight, and this race I’ll run . Until I finally see what you can see."
