[Verse 1]
God of the new beginnings
God of the second chance
Your grace an endless river
Your love an avalanche
There in my darkest moment
All hope burnt to the ground
That’s where Your mercy found me
That’s when Your love came down
You turned my mourning into dancing
You turned my sorrow into praise
Yeah You give me
[Chorus]
Beauty for ashes, beauty for ashes
Beauty for ashes, beauty for ashes
[Verse 2]
Love met me in the ruins
Of all my past mistakes
Love walked me to the river
Love broke apart these chains
Love spoke a new tomorrow
Opened my eyes to see
Love washed away this sadness
Love came and rescued me
You turned my mourning into dancing
You turned my sorrow into praise
Yeah You give me
[Chorus]
Beauty for ashes, beauty for ashes
Beauty for ashes, beauty for ashes
[Bridge]
Oh I thank You, God,
I’m overwhelmed by Your incredible love,
You make everything new
Oh I thank You, God,
For all You’ve done and yet to do,
Oh You make everything new
