beauty for ashes

god of the new beginnings

god of the second chance

your grace an endless river

your love an avalanche

there in my darkest moment

all hope burnt to the ground

that's where your mercy found me

that's when your love came down

you turned my mourning into dancing

you turned my sorrow into praise

you give me beauty for ashes

beauty for ashes

you give me beauty for ashes

beauty for ashes

love met me in the ruins

of all my past mistakes

love walked me to the river

love broke apart these chains

love spoke a new tomorrow

opened my eyes to see

love washed away this sadness

love came and rescued me

you turned my mourning into dancing

you turned my sorrow into praise

oh you give me

oh i thank you

god

i'm overwhelmed by your incredible love

you make everything new

oh thank you

god

for all you've done and yet to do

oh you make everything new
