Lyrics

?BEAUTY FROM ASHES?
By: Olivia Francis/JR Richardson (c) 2005 BMI

Verse 1
The middle of darkness, baby in her arms
Rudely awakened by their trailer?s smoke alarm
Flames rage around them, they narrowly escape
She runs out screaming, their home disintegrates

Verse 2
Neighbors and family run to lend a hand
She thanks the Lord they?re alive, God only understands
Although her dreams are ashes on the ground
Amid smoke and cinder, comfort can be found

BRIDGE:
God is our hope amidst the pain
If we would only call on His name

CHORUS:
Beauty from ashes, see how it grows
Through all life?s trials, strife and sorrow
When everything crumbles to the ground
Among the ashes, beauty can be found
Oh Yeah! Beauty can be found

God is our hope amidst the pain
If we would only call on His name

Beauty from ashes, see how it grows
Through all life?s trials, strife and sorrow
When everything crumbles to the ground
Among the ashes, beauty can be found
Beauty can be found
Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah! can be found
Can be found...Beauty from Ashes
