Ashes To Ashes
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Is this all that remains
Of us
There is beauty in ashes
For they remember the burn
The passion that lit them
So much did they learn
It’s so easy in this world
To keep looking inside
But it’s only through loving others
That the true gift resides
Pray, praise, laugh, sing
Hold hands that ached to be touched
To turn your attention to the needs of others
God’s reward to you will be much
Humble yourself and prepare to serve
Look for other’s pain
So many forgotten and thrown away
Find the one that needs to feel love and loose the heavy chains
Look deep into eyes of the people you see
Don’t pass by so quickly there may be a need
Are they questioning, seeking or do their eyes plead
You may be the one that God asks to intercede
The joy of serving is becoming a lost art
But the Father beckons us to come play a part
Your reward will be great, your heart will soar
And the day will come soon you will walk with the Lord
