Into the Depths: From The Ashes

From The Ashes

Well, I was looking for the last song to add to my playlist...they didn't have it....I found this one and like it even better.

"From The Ashes"


My right hand holds matches,
my left holds my past,
I hope the wind catches,
and burns it down fast,
I'm gonna step into the fire,
with my failures and my shame,
and wave good-bye to yesterday,
as I dance among the flames,

so don't try to save me now,
let the walls of my world all burn down,
just stand back and wait till the smoke finally passes,
and I will rise,
from the ashes,
from the ashes,
from the ashes,

for all that I'm losing, much more will i gain,
the hard part is choosing,
to change what needs changed,
and my step will be much lighter,
with these demons off my chest,
I'm born a better spirit,
and lay the old to rest

so don't try to save me now,
let the walls of my world all burn down,
just stand back and wait till the smoke finally passes,
and i will rise
from the ashes,
from the ashes,
from the ashes,

and I'll walk away stronger,
I will be flyin,
higher and truer
than I've flown before,

my right hand holds matches,
my left holds my past,
i hope the wind catches,
and burns it down fast.


Isaiah 61:3
And provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

That is beautiful, especially in light of that verse!

Yeah, I was just thinking as I reread it that 2 Corinthians 5:17 goes along well with it, too. At least in the second verse.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

I am doing good. I've been continuing to work on my screenplay but it is slow and tedious sometimes. Spiritually, I feel like God is showing me how to connect to Him through my creative work. It's been a wonderful surprise.

Hey girl,
That song is beautiful and really captures what you are walking through and how beautiful yet difficult it is!
