Beauty Will Rise

This is the second and title track off Steven Curtis Chapman's new album. It's a more fervent, yet hopeful track, declaring that despite the circumstances, something beautiful and amazing will come out.

Beauty Will Rise
by Steven Curtis Chapman

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

Slowly panic turns to pain
As we wake 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
And 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 Your 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

About

Hi! I basically use blogs to say to a piece of paper what I can't say as easily to the people I know. I encourage them to read my blog but my guess is most don't. If you read about me here, you will probably know more about me than most people.
