The Ashes

VERSE 1

There was longing and pleading and through the worst times there was pleasing trying to make everything ok for everyone else.

I was fading I was breaking but my faith was never shaken there’s a hope and a light there’s a call on my life no man can ever take away.

PRE CHORUS

I’m a survivor. I’m more alive than I’ve ever been. I am a fighter through fault and desire. It’s the battle I’ll never win unless I give it all to him.

CHORUS

I’ll just keep dancing with the king

With the man who knits together my dreams

The stars in my sky, the hot summer night

The only one who can make me die,

To myself everyday

I’ll choose the long road any day if it means that from ashes I was

and to ashes i will become

I’ll rise from the ashes.

He made me new.

So I’ll rise from the ashes.

VERSE 2

The world never looked so pretty to an unbelieving eye.

The endless questions ran in circles in my mind.

Why doesn’t he need me?

Why can’t he see me?

What if I’ll never love again?

While Walking away from the man who held my hand the whole time, he never left my side.

PRE CHORUS

I’m a survivor. I’m more alive than I’ve ever been. I am a fighter through fault and desire. It’s the battle I’ll never win unless I give it all to him.

CHORUS

I’ll just keep dancing with the king

With the man who knits together my dreams

The stars in my sky, the hot summer night

The only one who can make me die,

To myself everyday

I’ll choose the long road any day if it means that from ashes I was

and to ashes i will become

I’ll rise from the ashes.

He made me new.

So I’ll rise from the ashes.

BRIDGE

So we cling to deceit

Fail to fall to our knees

And beg the king for a chance to redeem

When only he can wash us clean.

What is broken remains broken till we come to see only the lord can intervene.

CHORUS

I’ll just keep dancing with the king

With the man who knits together my dreams

The stars in my sky, the hot summer night

The only one who can make me die,

To myself everyday

I’ll choose the long road any day if it means that from ashes I was

and to ashes i will become

I’ll rise from the ashes.

He made me new.

So I’ll rise from the ashes.

The ashes.

To ashes.

The ashes

To ashes.
