Chart-topping country artist Drew Baldridge and Dove Award-winning collective I AM THEY have joined forces to release a brand-new version of the moving worship anthem “Scars,” out today, September 5 via CmdShft. Featuring rising vocalist Cheyenne Mitchell, this reimagined track bridges the worlds of Christian and Country music, offering listeners a powerful reminder of redemption, healing, and God’s grace. Listen HERE.
Written by Matthew Hein, Jon McConnell, Matt Armstrong and Ethan Hulse, “Scars” speaks to the beauty of brokenness and the hope found in God’s faithfulness. Each lyric reflects the truth that every scar – emotional, physical, or spiritual – tells a story of His love and healing. The song has already made an impact, previously climbing to the top of the Christian music charts, and this new release aims to bring its message to an even wider audience.
So I’m thankful for the scars
Cause without them I wouldn’t know Your heart
And I know they’ll always tell of who YOU are
So forever I am thankful for the scars
“This song is about finding beauty in the hard places and trusting that every wound points us back to God’s heart,” shares I AM THEY’s Matthew Hein. “Getting to collaborate with Drew and Cheyenne on this new version pulls our voices and stories together to make the message even stronger and we hope it encourages anyone walking through tough seasons.”
Baldridge, known for his heartfelt songwriting and faith-forward perspective, adds, “When I first heard ‘Scars,’ it stopped me in my tracks and I was pumped when they asked me to join this version. It made me realize how grateful I am for the scars in my life – the struggles and brokenness I’ve had to overcome. Those experiences brought me closer to God, and I’m so thankful for that.”
With soaring harmonies, authentic emotion, and a unifying spirit, “Scars” is more than a song, it’s an anthem for anyone seeking redemption and peace in the midst of life’s challenges.
