“Beauty Will Rise” by Steven Curtis Chapman

Well, I thought I had re-found this CD for my friend but apparently God placed it along my path for me too. The entire CD has been speaking to both Barry and I right now. It is amazing how God gives you the strength and encouragement that you need to get through one day at a time. And a lot of times that encouragement is from a song…

“Beauty Will Rise”

It was the day the world went wrong
I screamed til my voice was gone
And watched through the tears as everything
Came crashing down

Slowy panic turns to pain
As we awake to what remains
And sift through the ashes
That are left behind

But buried deep beneath
All our broken dreams we have this hope

Out of these ashes beauty will rise
And we will dance among the ruins
We will see it with our own eyes
Out of these ashes beauty will rise
For we know joy is coming in the morning
In the morning, beauty will rise

So take another breath for now
And let the tears come washing down
And if you can't believe, I will believe for you

Cause I have seen the signs of spring
Just watch and see

Out of these ashes beauty will rise
And we will dance among the ruins
We will see it with our own eyes
Out of these ashes beauty will rise
For we know joy is coming in the morning
In the morning

I can hear it in the distance
And it's not too far away
It's the music and the laughter
Of a wedding and a feast

I can almost feel the hand of God
Reaching for my face to wipe the tears away
You say it's time to make everything new

Make it all new

This is our hope
This is a promise
This is our hope
This is a promise

It will take our breath away
To see the beauty that's been made
Out of the ashes, out of the ashes

It will take our breath away
To see the beauty that He's made
Out of the ashes, out of the ashes

Out of these ashes
Beauty will rise
And we will dance among the ruins
We will see it with our own eyes

Out of this darkness
New light will shine
And we'll know the joy that's coming in the morning
In the morning
Beauty will rise

Oh, beauty will rise
Oh, oh, oh, beauty will rise
Oh, oh, oh, beauty will rise
Oh, oh, oh, beauty will rise

You can listen to the song here.

  2. I think it is amazing how God uses one song to speak to so many people in many different ways! Just as He does in so many other areas of our life! The song for me {and my husband really just recently listened to it for what seemed to be the first time and couldn't stop crying} is "What Faith Can Do". If you have not heard it, I highly encourage you to listen to it! Praying for you both!
