BEAUTY FOR ASHES “LIVE” Crystal Lewis (Ron Kenoly)

The Beauty is within reach…if we truly “Let go” the old will be turned to ashes Based on Isaiah 61:1-3 Lyrics: He gives beauty for ashes Strength for fear Gladness for mourning Peace for despair When sorrow seems to surround you When suffering hangs heavy o’er your head Know that tomorrow brings Wholeness and healing God knows your need Just believe what He said He gives beauty for ashes Strength for fear Gladness for mourning Peace for despair When what you’ve done keeps you from moving on When fear wants to make itself at home in your heart Know that forgiveness brings Wholeness and healing God knows your need Just believe what He said He gives beauty for ashes Strength for fear Gladness for mourning Peace for despair I once was lost but God has found me Though I was bound I’ve been set free I’ve been made righteous in His sight A display of His splendor all can see He gives beauty for ashes Strength for fear Gladness for mourning Peace for despair The album won an ASCAP award for “Beauty For Ashes” as the most played song (1997).
