Out of Ashes Lyrics

Pouring pavement 'round a house next to a graveyard

Well they've finally turned that place around

With the mustard-colored paint

And the walls cracked and dry

It wasn't something that we wanted

But now it's back alive

It reminds me how God builds His church

With the hands of the broken and used

And I've been pouring new pavement

Around my life with you

It's been a long time building

And tearing things up too

So many times didn't have the answers

But we'd see it out on our own

Wish I could walk back the moments

When I was young and didn't care

And yet through it all

Your Spirit was there

The Lord lifts us out of ashes

And teaches lessons on the way

Oh Your Spirit calmed our souls

And taught us to be bold

And no matter what was on us

I can confidently say

You were there

You were there

You were there

You were there

I've seen the ones that hurt me fade away

They no longer hold a grip on me

By the time I met my wife

I thought we'd seen everything

From the spurn of old lovers

To missed opportunities

But when Fall was ending we got the news

I was staying in Ireland

And the fiddles kept on playing

As the conversation burned on

And it's hard to hold your faith

When the illness prolongs

When you got sick I took care of you

I did the best I could

You would lean on a cart

As we walked through the aisles

I wish we'd lean more on our Savior

When we went through these trials

The Lord lifts us out of ashes

And teaches lessons on the way

Oh I wanna stay forever

In Your ever-present light

And no matter what is on us

I know this today

You are here

You are here

You are here

You are here

You are here

Always and forever You are here

You are here

Always and forever You are here

He says please know that I will care for you

Please know that I will love you too

Please know that I will care for you

Ooo Ooo

Please know that I will care for you

Please know that I will love you too

Please know that I will care for you

Ooo Ooo
