In 1998, they added a touring band, with Cappillino's husband, Dana, and Tommy McGee as permanent band members on guitar and on bass, respectively.
In 2006, former Avalon member Michael Passons added his work to the group's live show, usually opening the set with a few solo songs and backing the group on keyboards.
The group's debut self-titled album was released in 1993; since then, they have been recognized as one of the top Contemporary Christian music bands in the United States. In 2003, they released their ninth album, 24 - a compilation of their 24 consecutive #1 radio singles. To this date, no band in any genre has matched this record. As of 2006 the girls have 27 #1 radio singles.
The group has started a conference for young girls, the Girls of Grace series
Heal the Wound
Point Of Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to dream that each mistake could be erased
Then I could just pretend
I never knew the me back then
I used to pray that You would take this shame away
Hide all the evidence of who I've been
But it's the memory of the place You brought me from
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart, take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar
I have not lived a life that boasts of anything
I don't take pride in what I bring
But I'll build an altar with the rubble that You've found me in
And every stone will sing of what You can redeem
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart, take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar
Don't let me forget
Everything You've done for me
Don't let me forget
The beauty in the suffering
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart, take the pieces of this heart
Heal the wound but leave the scar
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart, take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar, leave the scar
In “Heal the Wound,” Point Of Grace presents a poignant reflection on history, forgiveness, and redemption. The opening lyrics express the singer’s desire to rewrite their past, to erase past mistakes, and pretend that they never existed. In doing so, they offer a sense of shame that makes them pray for God to take away that shame by removing all evidence of their past. However, as the lyrics progress, we see the singer’s realization that it is the memory of that place that brought them to their knees that keeps them humble and grateful, even though they are free. The chorus serves as a reminder that our pain and scars do not speak of our shortcomings but our healing and the mercy of God.
The song suggests that one should not attempt to forget who they are but should accept their past experiences and scars as part of their identity. It teaches listeners that one's past mistakes and scars are not signs of weakness, but indications of the incredible journey taken and the lessons learned from that journey. The lyrics remind us that while people may be broken and torn apart, they can still be made whole with the help of God, the one who can heal all wounds and leave a reminder of His mercy behind.
