You Turned My Ashes Into Praise

You Turned My Ashes Into Praise

Verse 1

I came to You with nothing left,

A heart full of questions and a soul full of regrets.

I tried to carry every burden on my own,

Until I realized I was never meant to walk alone.

I had nights when I couldn’t sleep,

Tears were the only words I could speak.

But somewhere in the silence, I heard Your voice,

Saying, “My child, you still have a choice.”

Pre-Chorus

So I gave You the pieces,

The parts I couldn’t repair.

And You took what was broken

And met me right there.

Chorus

You turned my ashes into praise,

You turned my darkest nights to days.

You took the tears I cried alone

And reminded me I’m still Your own.

You took my weakness, made me strong,

You gave me a reason to carry on.

I thought my story had come to an end,

But You picked me up and wrote it again.

Jesus, You made beauty from my pain.

Verse 2

I don’t have to hide my scars,

You already know exactly who we are.

You don’t turn away when I fall,

You reach down and hear me when I call.

I’ve been through storms that shook my faith,

But every storm only showed me Your grace.

And now when I look back at where I’ve been,

I see Your fingerprints through it all again.

Pre-Chorus

You were there in the valley,

You were there in the rain.

When I thought I was forgotten,

You were calling my name.

Chorus

You turned my ashes into praise,

You turned my darkest nights to days.

You took the tears I cried alone

And reminded me I’m still Your own.

You took my weakness, made me strong,

You gave me a reason to carry on.

I thought my story had come to an end,

But You picked me up and wrote it again.

Jesus, You made beauty from my pain.

Bridge — Quiet

I don’t need to understand it all,

I just need to trust You.

I don’t need to see the road ahead,

I just need to follow You.

Build

Because You are faithful.

You are faithful.

You were faithful then,

And You’ll be faithful now.

You are faithful.

You are faithful.

I’ll put my life

Into Your hands.

Final Chorus — Big

You turned my ashes into praise!

You turned my darkest nights to days!

You took the tears I cried alone

And called this broken heart Your home!

You took my weakness, made me strong!

You gave me a reason to carry on!

I thought my story had come to an end,

But You picked me up and wrote it again!

You turned my ashes into praise!

You turned my mourning into dancing!

You took my broken pieces, Lord,

And made something beautiful again!

Outro

So I’ll praise You in the valley.

I’ll praise You on the mountain.

I’ll praise You when I understand,

And I’ll praise You when I don’t.

Because You didn’t leave me there.

You turned my ashes into praise.

And I’ll worship You forever.
