Ashes For Beauty


When the flames rise up around me,
Searing me with great fear,
I lift my voice up to heaven
In faith that You will hear.
Since You promised crowns of beauty
For the ashes I have here,
I know that, when flames rise higher,
There are blessings drawing near.
 
Isaiah 61:3
… to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
