Beauty from Ashes

There may be people
Who say that they are the Messiah
Long story
They are not
You will know
I'll try to keep it short
It's been a long story
Trying to keep it short
Be the salt of the earth
Cause you know that it's worth it
And He knows that it's worth it
Long story
No weapon shall prosper
But you found me here
God

I don't know who needs this
Well maybe it's you
I could never get sober
Now my cup runneth over
God found me
When I thought my life it was over
The trials they mold you
He gone hold you
He don't wanna scold you
In the fires where He had to mold you
You're still perfect
Case nobody told you
Built in His image
He is not finished
Your cup has been low
And it's time to replenish
I can't write this down
Pray He finish the sentence
No weapon shall prosper
Try not to be timid
When you're with the Father
There's truly no limit
Plank out of my eye
Now my prayers through the ceiling
The Holy Spirit's gonna fill it
Try to listen I know what you're feeling

Down on the white
Lost kids and a wife
A home that was nice
Had a wonderful life
But I didn't know
There was demons inside
They thought I was crazy
And that I might die
Couldn't put down the pipe
Thousands and thousands
I spent every dollar in sight
The Devil took me for a ride
Ten years of her life
My kids couldn't look in my eyes
Where am I at?
Are you coming back?
Long talks in the mirror
Don't know how to react
I try to go home but wound up in the trap
My daughters were thinking
Like where is my dad?
Truly I tell you I was going out bad
Trying to reach for the word
Picked up a slab
The Lord gonna meet you where you're at
It's truly a fact
He found me laying on my back

God God God
I don't know what to do
I don't know where to go
My wife's gone
The kids won't talk to me
I can't stop smoking this
Stop smoking this
He knows
God please
Show me who you are
Reveal yourself to me

I don't know who needs this
Well maybe it's you
I could never get sober
Now my cup runneth over
God found me
When I thought my life it was over
The trials they mold you
He gone hold you
He don't wanna scold you
In the fires where He had to mold you
You're still perfect
Case nobody told you
Built in His image
He is not finished
Your cup has been low
And it's time to replenish
I can't write this down
Pray He finish the sentence
No weapon shall prosper
Try not to be timid
When you're with the Father
There's truly no limit
Plank out of my eye
Now my prayers through the ceiling
The Holy Spirit's gonna fill it
Try to listen I know what you're feeling

Who'd have known how it turn out
I had to ask the Lord
Where am I fixing to go now
Took a while to heal
It's all right we're on the go now
Got a new wife new home God show out
My daughters know daddy with the Lord
He got a glow now
Had a lot of thoughts in my mind
He had to throw out
Now I got no doubt
Glad I never sold out
Reap what I sow now
He told me to slow down
Just try to be patient and get to the root
Forgive all those people
That wanted to hurt you
I know it don't feel right
But that's what you do
Your way is not working
What do you lose
There's no temptation
That's overcome you
Don't let your struggles redefine the truth
God knows where your life can find the proof
Seek first the Kingdom
And watch what He do
It's worth it

I don't know who needs this
Well maybe it's you
I could never get sober
Now my cup runneth over
God found me
When I thought my life it was over
The trials they mold you
He gone hold you
He don't wanna scold you
In the fires where He had to mold you
You're still perfect
Case nobody told you
Built in His image
He is not finished
Your cup has been low
And it's time to replenish
I can't write this down
Pray He finish the sentence
No weapon shall prosper
Try not to be timid
When you're with the Father
There's truly no limit
Plank out of my eye
Now my prayers through the ceiling
The Holy Spirit's gonna fill it
Try to listen I know what you're feeling

God I just thank you God
That you revealed yourself to me Lord
In such a way
In such a way that I couldn't let it go
And if people would just fall
More in love with you
The ways of the world
Would fall off of them
Because there is no other He
In Jesus name
That has the name of Jesus
