NOT THE LYRICS JUST A POEM
From death
Comes life
And healing
From ashes and destruction
Comes beauty.
When you look at a volcano erupting
Ash is flying everywhere
Destroying everything in its path
All you see is the destruction
But over time it re-creates itself
Creating something new and beautiful
Out of once something so destructive
God does the same thing.
He takes our ashes
And He re-creates them into something new
Something beautiful
He takes our destruction
And re-builds our lives
Our ashes for His beauty.
The ash of a volcano
Can be turned into glass
And create something beautiful
Something priceless
Our lives were once ash
But God created a priceless work of art with them.
He is the creator
And re-creator of everything
He holds our ashes in His hands
And exchanges them for His crown of beauty
Crown of redemption.
He takes our ashes
And He re-creates them into something new
Something beautiful
He takes our destruction
And re-builds our lives
Our ashes for His beauty.
We all have our ashes
From the eruption of our lives
From the destruction of the floods
The remains of a broken life
Just a stump remains
A cracked stump
Barely standing
But He takes our remains
And He re-creates something new
He takes our ashes
And creates something for everyone to enjoy
Though the flood caused much destruction
And death hit
Something beautiful is still awaiting.
From death new life forms
From ashes beauty is created
Though the sting of death is painful
Healing and newness awaits
Something so beautiful
That could only be created from a creator
A creator who loves us
Who loves us enough to re-create
Something beautiful from ashes.
From death to life
Ashes to beauty
God is creating and re-creating our lives
He loves us.
He takes our ashes
And He re-creates them into something new
Something beautiful
He takes our destruction
And re-builds our lives
Our ashes for His beauty.
From death
Comes life
And healing
From ashes and destruction
Comes beauty.
Let Him take your ashes
And He re-create them into something new
Something beautiful
Let Him take destruction
And re-builds our lives
Our ashes for His beauty.
Let Him bring life from your death
Beauty from your ashes
Healing from your pain
See how much He loves you...

How awesome. We have such a great treasure to be able to come to God ourselves in prayer and turn it all over to Him. We may not understand some of the most difficult situations we have to face. But this is exactly what we have to do, come b4 God and leave Him all our troubles and Trust and know that He will work it out for our best.His love and mercy are sufficient. Thank you Jesus for calvary. I love you God,I pray that all you who seek God don't give up. Life is hard but God is good.
