BEAUTY FOR ASHES

When you walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
When you walk through this garden of tears
Even in the darkness, My hand will lead
I will comfort you.

CHORUS:

Beauty for ashes
Joy instead of mourning
Beauty for ashes
Hope for despair
Beauty for ashes
Joy instead of mourning, 
Hope will rise again

If you knew how I loved you 
With an unchanging love,
How I long to restore you to grace
In Me is your freedom
I am your peace
Turn again to the rock of your past

CHORUS:
Beauty for ashes…….

If you stretch out your hand
To the poor and oppressed
Only then will your light rise again
I am your greatness
I your true might
This land will be lost without Me

BRIDGE:
In these times of uncertainty
Tumult and change
When you’re lost in a sea of despair
I feel your sadness
I feel your pain
I’ve walked sorrows road.

I will bend down and heal you 
Gather you up
As a mother the children she loves
If you make Me your desire
If you walk in My ways
If you humble yourselves to my cause

CHORUS
Beauty for ashes…
