Beauty Instead of Ashes

Beauty Instead Of Ashes
Letting go of those broken, wounded parts so easily causing pain...
Beauty Instead of Ashes

Let go, surrender, let the peace of beauty reign in those empty spaces hidden from the world...

Beauty Instead of Ashes
Let go. Let the renewing of your mind shout hallelujah!! Anyhow, for it's in the ashes a crown of beauty is born...

Beauty Instead of Ashes
Let the love, peace, joy, and contentment from within remove the brokenness in the midst of loneliness, hurt, and pain...

                                    Beauty Instead of Ashes

To grant consolation and joy to those who mourn in Zion, to give them a garland of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit, that they may be called oaks of righteousness, and distinguished for right standing with God, the planting of the Lord, that HE may be glorified.

Isaiah 61:3 (AMPLIFIED VERSION)
