Ashes to Skies

I feel the weight The remnants of my past How could you make redemption from the dust But you came in With unexpected mercy You met every fear By the power of your name Oh, what a gracious Father You made these ruins an altar Only grace could build cathedrals out of bones that have been raised Your honour pouring out into this vessel made of clay For your glory we will rise From the ashes to the skies For your glory we will rise From the ashes to the skies Refined by flames Consuming every part You changed my name And that's where my story starts When you came in With unexpected mercy You wiped every tear And wrapped me in your arms Oh, what a gracious Father You made these ruins an altar Only grace could build cathedrals out of bones that have been raised Your honour pouring out into this vessel made of clay For your glory we will rise From the ashes to the skies For your glory we will rise From the ashes to the skies Then you came in With unexpected mercy You changed everything And told me I am worthy Yes, you came in With overwhelming power Conquered every fear Now I'm free in Jesus' name Oh, what a gracious Father You made these ruins an altar Only grace could build cathedrals out of bones that have been raised Your honour pouring out into this vessel made of clay For your glory we will rise From the ashes to the skies For your glory we will rise From the ashes to the skies We will rise We will rise From the ashes to the skies we will rise We will rise
