From the Ashes

[Intro]
I’ve been broken, I’ve been torn,
Felt like my hope was gone, my spirit worn.
But You stepped in, Lord, and called my name,
From the ashes, You made beauty out of pain.

[Verse 1]
I was buried in the weight of yesterday,
Lost in the darkness, couldn’t find my way.
But Your love reached down, pulled me from the dust,
You’re the God of redemption, the One I trust.
You rebuild the ruins, breathe life again,
What was shattered, Lord, You make whole within.
Every scar’s a story of grace that heals,
From the ashes, Lord, Your love reveals.

[Chorus]
From the ashes, You lift me high,
Trading my sorrow for joy that won’t die.
You’re the God of new beginnings, the Author of hope,
From the ashes, Lord, You’re making me whole.

[Bridge]
I’ll rise, I’ll rise, on wings of grace,
Your mercy has given me a brand-new space.
No shame, no chains, I’m walking free,
What You’ve done in my life is a testimony.
You take the broken, make it shine so bright,
Turn the darkness into glorious light.

[Chorus]
From the ashes, You lift me high,
Trading my sorrow for joy that won’t die.
You’re the God of new beginnings, the Author of hope,
From the ashes, Lord, You’re making me whole.

[Outro]
Now I stand in Your freedom, unshaken, renewed,
Every promise You made, Lord, it’s faithful and true.
From the ashes, I rise, I lift my hands,
You’re the Rock I stand on, the Great I Am.
