Beauty for Ashes
Crystal Lewis · More [2001]
[chorus 2times]
He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair
He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair
When sorrow seems to surround you
When suffering hangs heavy on your head
Know that tomorrow brings
Wholeness and healing
God knows your need
Just believe what He said
[chorus 2times]
When what you've done
Keeps you from moving on
When fear wants to make itself
At home in your heart
Know that forgiveness brings
Wholeness and healing
God knows your need
Just believe what He said
[chorus2times]
I once was lost but God has found me
Though I was bound, I've been set free
Been made righteous in His sight
A display of His splendor all can see
[repeat]
