BEAUTY FOR ASHES "LIVE" Crystal Lewis (Ron Kenoly)

The Beauty is within reach...if we truly "Let go" the old will be turned to ashes Based on Isaiah 61:1-3

Lyrics:
He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

When sorrow seems to surround you
When suffering hangs heavy o'er your head
Know that tomorrow brings
Wholeness and healing
God knows your need
Just believe what He said

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

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

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

I once was lost but God has found me
Though I was bound I've been set free
I've been made righteous in His sight
A display of His splendor all can see

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

The album won an ASCAP award for "Beauty For Ashes" as the most played song (1997).

@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.

@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
