Ashes to Ashes

Verse 1

Dear God forgive me, Lord, I’ve sinned again,

Walkin’ through the shadows with a bottle and a pen.

You saved me once, you held the whole world in your hands,

Carried me through darkness when I couldn’t even stand.

But I still stumbled like you didn’t see,

Now I’m beggin’ you — is there any grace left for me?

Pre‑Chorus

I’m down on my knees, heart heavy as steel,

Tryin’ to be better but the devil cuts deals.

I can’t promise perfection, I’m too scarred to pretend,

But God I’ll fight like hell not to burn in the end.

Ashes to ashes… dust to dust,

Save me from myself, take me now if you must.

Strip away temptation before I derail,

Or is this world already what you call hell?

Lord, I wish I could tell.

Verse 2

I’ve run from your mercy, I’ve spit in your light,

Chased every wrong thing in the dead of the night.

But you kept me breathing when I should’ve been gone,

You whispered forgiveness while I kept doin’ wrong.

Now I’m tired of the chains that I forged on my own,

Tired of feelin’ lost in a place I call home.

Bridge

If redemption’s a river, let it wash me clean,

Let it drown out the man that I used to be.

If heaven’s a whisper, let me hear it again,

If hell is this world… then Lord, say when.

Final Hook (Bigger, Soulful)

Ashes to ashes… dust to dust,

I’m beggin’ for mercy, I’m beggin’ for trust.

Take this broken spirit, rebuild if you will,

‘Cause I’m scared this whole world is just hell standin’ still.

Lord, I wish I could tell.
