Laced with classical-flavored strings, this vulnerable tune explores transformation in Christ.

lyrics

There was a fire, the kind that takes everything
Unholy devastation was left in its path
I had lots of nothing- had lots of lonely too
My scars left me unrecognizable except, except to You
The ashes were my dwelling place-
Soon came to fill so much of me
The color died and left my face
What was the point in trying to be

Then you made beauty from the ashes
Beauty from the ashes Jesus
You called me out from the deep
And made beauty from the ashes of me

Running from nowhere- hiding from the safety of you
Letting my fear be my king, oh I let the Deceiver rule
His oppression burned out all my worth
What was left of my hope went up in flames
I believed the lies so well-rehearsed, but
I found only You could give me my name

(chorus)
Isaiah 61:1-3
