He gives beauty for ashes

Strength for fear

Gladness for mourning

Peace for despair



When sorrow seems to surround you

When suffering hangs heavy oer 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 fearGladness for mourning

Peace for despair



When what youve 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 fearGladness for mourning

Peace for despair



I once was lost but God has found me

Though I was bound Ive been set free

Ive been made righteous in His sight

A display of His splendor all can see



He gives beauty for ashes

Strength for fearGladness for mourning

Peace for despair
