'Weeping may remain for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.'
~ Psalm 30:5
Beauty From Pain
By ~ SuperChic[k]
The lights go out all around me
One last candle to keep out the night
And then the darkness surrounds me
I know I'm alive but I feel like I've died
And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I've made
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder
I feel like I'm slipping away
After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain
My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I wonder why God lets me walk through this place
And though I can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how You've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames
After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain
Here I am, at the end of me
Trying to hold to what I can't see
I forgot how to hope
This night's been so long
I cling to Your promise
There will be a dawn
After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain
This is a song that Morgan and Bekah have loved for several years. I always thought it was a pretty 'sounding' song, but I'd never truly listened to its lyrics until today. All I can really say right now is, 'WOW'. It is like someone reached down into the depths of my heart and pulled the words right out.
It truly gives words to how I feel about the status of my life right now, but it also explains that no matter how frustrated, sad, depressed and, sometimes, downright angry I get about the whole thing, I am positive God is going to make something beautiful out of it all. That gives me hope and helps me to keep on keeping on.
I am SO glad you stopped by today! I hope you and your family are enjoying a beautiful fall weekend. See you soon!

Isa 61:3 -
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
I heard the prettiest song on a CD I had once about beauty for ashes. I need to look for it.
Praying for you, Dear ~
What a beautiful attitude you have.
