Beauty for Ashes



                                You gave beauty for ashes

                             When my fire was burning low

                               You gave beauty for ashes

                         When my light was an ebbing glow.

                          When my trust had turned to dust

                   I dropped my sword that edged toward rust,

                             But You gave beauty for ashes,

                                     And healing for pain


                            You gave faith for the doubting,

                           When my life was a fading mess

                          You gave peace in the windstorm.

                                    Blew my mind...

                           Peace; Through great distress.

                             In my cloud of fire and ice

                           You took it all, Your sacrifice.

                             You gave beauty for ashes,
,
                                  Refreshing as rain,

                            You give beauty for ashes,

                                  And lift me again.
