  • This is song is absolutely gorgeous!! It still brings me to tears!

  • Oh.....this is Beautiful!!!!

  • Wonderful message Crystal : )

  • Crystal Lewis recorded the spanish version with Marcos Witt (Esplendor por cenizas), a very nice song in any language. Sorry my bad english. Blessing for all!

  • I'm being completely sarcastic...but that's the most excited-looking crowd I've ever seen in my life. lol

  • Beauty for ashes, Love the song.

    Thanks for the post

  • Very NICE! Well done, Well done.

  • yes this song quotes these beautiful words which tell us that even in the sad, bad tough times, God is able to turn things around and take us through. Even when we are in a tough situation that looks like no way out, He will clothe those who trust Him with His beauty, He will replace the fear with his love and joy bringing strength and also replace dispair with His perfect peace. What an awesome God!

  • @chuckiej The congregation is very somber~This was Crystals' father Pastor Holland Lewis' retirement service. (after 13 years)...It was a special event!! Different people worship God in their own unique ways~The song isn't one that you stand up & dance too, so really how can any of you "judge" others hearts by how they react to a song??

  • @WVCYakima Well I can't see what I typed so I apologize for whatever it was. You're right I shouldn't judge and didn't know the context. Sorry!

    I've been at two long term pastors of mine's retirement services 1) through my college and young adult years, 11 years total, I was there in person. 2) the pastor I grew up under was at our church for 25 years. I watched that one online. Both were celebrations of what was accomplished for the Lord more than mourning, though there was plenty of that 2

  • @WVCYakima Thank you for sharing the video. I have nothing but respect for what Crystal has done and I bet her dad was an awesome pastor.

  • what's up with the audience. they don't look too excited

  • This verse of scripture, that he gives beauty for ashes, was given to me as a promise for my husband. Please pray with me that he will eventually take hold of God for this promise.

    Isa 61:3

    To console those who mourn in Zion,

    To give them beauty for ashes ,

    The oil of joy for mourning,

    The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;

    That they may be called trees of righteousness,

    The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."

  • posting for karaoke..

  • love this song

  • I love this song. The words are so comforting and true. Just keep trusting Him. God is able to take our brokeness and make us whole. But that's only if we fully give it over to him. Only in Christ alone can one experience such peace, joy and happiness inspite of our circumstances. Thank You Father for sending Jesus. Thank You Jesus for loving us so much.

  • why do people who dont "believe" always try to argue with people who do "believe'? is it because that "thing" in all of us that tugs at our inner being cause us all to think that there must be more, all things couldn't have just appeared! science is science which God created! if he wanted us to know everything then we would be God! our purpose is not to be God but to glorify him, tryin to debate that we dont see him is crazy we would be dead he is GOD we are not!

  • @taydai i love that.and and it will be so sad when people realize Jesus is Lord when he appears in the sky with the angles and every eye shall see him and every tongue confess he is Lord. i hope people don't continue to ignore this call.

    The only religion that the devil attacks is Christianity and he blindfolds non believer so that they may not see the light of the glorious gospel gospel of Christ. the least we can do is pray for non believers all over the world so that God can open their eyes.

  • JUST LEFT LONG MESSAGE BUT SOME HOW DELETED IT BEFORE I COULD SEND IT. LOVE THIS. USED TO LISTEN TO IT ON C.S.N. DIDN'T KNOW YOU GUYS WERE SO CLOSE TO ME. I WAS THERE DURING THE 70'S LOVE SONG AND MARANATHA MUSIC OF CALVARY CHAPEL COSTA MESA. SO I LIKE THIS.

  • well you did not respond to the global warming scam and you just keep repeating your same mantra! you will never know or understand all!! You are human, I am done talking to such a closed minded person. Have a good life:)

  • @jafragal "closed minded?" Not blindly believing something, because there's absolutely no evidence to support it does not make me closed minded. It makes me rational.

  • Very beautiful voice and singing!

  • lifes tough without God and i know that very well

  • very beautiful singing

  • BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! LOVE IT :D

  • God's promise of "beauty for ashes" and "healing our brokenness" really lifts my spirit. I know I feel so broken sometimes as does everyone, and my faith in this promise restores my hope. God extends his mercy, compassion, and restoration to everyone --no matter what--if they give it over to Him.

  • This is absolutely beautiful!

    EVERYONE CHECK OUT MY SINGING VIDEOS!

    Please help my one and only dream come true<3

  • Beautiful voice and music.

    It's too bad for you that god doesn't exist.

  • tell all these folks to repent for having the abomination of desolation "the tree." jer10:1-5... learn not the way of the heathen for they are dismayed at.... custom of the ppl are vain one cutteth the tree out the forest deck it with silver n gold they hammer itt that it move not UP RIGHT AS A PALM TREE... please let them know to repent.

  • Yeah, but what actual evidence is there, solid, empirical evidence that anything in the Bible is true?

  • @Vehementi What actual evidence is there, solid, empirical evidence, that the way to know anything is through solid, empirical evidence?

  • @chehsed What other path could possibly lead to knowledge?

    Things can only be demonstrably shown to be accurate through evidence.

  • @Vehementi I'm just challening your premise on the basis of your conclusion. If ALL things can only be demonstrably shown to be accurate through evidence, then you should be able to demonstrably show to be accurate through evidence this very assumption of yours...that things can only be demonstrably shown to be accurate through evidence. So, can you provide evidence that you are able to know that evidence is the only way to know something? Since you asked, the other path is the Bible.

  • @chehsed It's track record. Simply enough, evidence-based knowledge has been used to make accurate and precise predictions. Such as the existence of DNA, the curvature of the Earth, or the geographical location of fossils.

    If something is factual, there WILL be evidence to support it. Whether that evidence is direct or indirect, everything that affects anything leaves behind evidence.

    The Bible is just a book, much of which that's contained in it contradicts the observable evidence...

  • @Vehementi ...What is it about the Bible that leads to knowledge that can be shown to be demonstrably true?

    Because things such as a global flood, a 6 day creation, a man living inside the belly of a giant fish for several days (without oxygen, swimming in digestive acid.), mankind descending from two ancestors only (Adam and Eve.), etc, all go against the conclusions that the evidence leads us to. And that short list isn't even the start of where the Bible and reality stumble over eachother.

  • @Vehementi "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see"

    Not everything will be understood or observed by man. What about the wind?  Can you see that?. no, but you acknowledge the force behind it.

    And how can you believe' blindly' the scientists? Look at the big global warming scam!

  • @jafragal Let me make one correction "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see, WHEN THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT IT."

    I prefer "Faith is gullibility masquerading as a virtue."

    I can't see the wind, but I can see the direct effect it has. Wind is an understood phonomenon, it's entirely natural and has an entirely natural explanation. God does not. God has no explanation, no evidence to support him, because he has no direct effect on the world...

  • @Vehementi ... around us.

    I don't "blindly" believe scientists. I look at what evidence they present to support their hypohesies.

    And global warming a scam? Lol, I bet you think the moon landing was faked, too, or that Elvis Presley's still alive.

  • @Vehementi ur right in a way of thinking , it is awkward trusting in a higher power blindly, but only those who have seen miracles and believe in hope are the ones who know..

  • @girlicious102 Except what about those that witness "miriacles" from other religions, ones that aren't even Abrahamic?

    As for hope, I believe in hope, I hope for a lot of things so hope obviously exists (As a concept, anyway), but I don't see how beleif in hope equates to evidence of any god, let alone Yahweh.

  • @Vehementi When did i say anything against other religions , wherever u feel peace is good . God is one , people made religions .. thts wht i believe :)

  • @girlicious102 You're absolutely right, girlicious. people did make religion. people gave religion form and an identity so that others can relate. However, our relationship with God is not religion; our relationship with God is a personal bond that no word, not ever "religion," could define. So, yes there are lost of people that doubt religion, but one thing that one should never doubt is God and His word. That's what i know is true.

  • the beauty of Grace can only be reached by God's mercy.. Nothing acts independent of God's will or it become supreme. The law is our School Master that leads us to Christ so that we may be justified by faith.

  • y is this overdubed and with a video to make use think shes live singing??

  • Lovely! Blessings, Patty

  • well ajungfreudian the good thing is God's greatness doens't hinge on whether you believe Him or not. believe or Him or not it doesnt alter his Majesty...go on with your humanistic views sunshine... God will still reign, with or without your belief. Yes, RELIGION, messes lives, but that's just people trying to define God... anywhere what you doing listening to 'God's' music. why do you feel you need to convince others that God doesn't exist, is it so you get comfort in your sin?

  • Once Dr. Jung was asked by a BBC reporter: "Dr. Jung..do you believe in god ?"

    The answer is a real diamond:

    He answered: "No...I know..."

    Background: Jung stated...what I have to believe I do not know yet.....but!....knowing...I do not have to believe...as I already know !

    God is in us...and tell me, who does not know this?

  • "Beauty for Ashes" sung by Christal shows what happens once you "know"

    So beautiful

    that is why I wrote ( did not shine up):

    Swim the world within

    God is in you

    Merry christmas.. Christ was born into our world, he is real ( Paulus/Tessaloniker)

  • Really nice :)
