Beauty

"He will give a crown of beauty for ashesa joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair." Isaiah 61:3


Isn't it awesome that God sees us as we are...ashen and dirty, hiding from him in the Eden he provided us, and yet, He loves us. He clothes us in righteousness and sees us as beautiful. Through all of the dirt, and all of the pain, God sees us as beautiful!

Beauty for ashes
a garment of praise for my heaviness
beauty for ashes
take this heart of stone and make it Yours.

I delight myself in the Richest of Fair
trading all that I've had for all that is better,
a garment of praise for my heaviness.
You are the greatest taste
You're the richest of fair.
