Ashes - July 8

[! intro] In the darkest corners of my soul where shadows hide and fears unfold (I saw the sunrise of redemption rise) (over the horizon of my brokenness) I tried to hide, to shy away from the specifics of my shattered heart but You saw me, You knew my name and called me out of the darkness into Your light Who I am hates who I've been but You love me still, You love me still You gave me a second chance, a new beginning a chance to start anew, to leave the past behind This is no place to try and live my life alone, adrift, and lost in sin but You reached down and lifted me up out of the miry clay and set my feet upon a rock I'm sorry for the person I became lost in the wilderness of my own desires but You forgave me, You cleansed me and made me new, a creation born of fire >Who I am hates who I've been~! but You love me still, You love me still You gave me a second chance, a new beginning a chance to start anew, to leave the past behind I'll take this gift, this precious gift and run with it, I'll run with it I'll leave the ashes of my former life behind, and rise like a phoenix from the flames Who I am hates who I've been but You love me still, You love me still You gave me a second chance, a new beginning a chance to start anew, to leave the past behind Who I am hates who I've been but You love me still, You love me still You gave me a second chance, a new beginning a chance to start anew, to leave the past behind For who I am now is not who I've been I am redeemed, I am restored I am forgiven, I am free thanks to the cross, thanks to Calvary [End]
