At The Foot Of The Cross

By Kari Jobe
NOT THE LYRICS JUST A POEM
From death
Comes life
And healing
From ashes and destruction
Comes beauty.
When you look at a volcano erupting
Ash is flying everywhere
Destroying everything in its path
All you see is the destruction
But over time it re-creates itself
Creating something new and beautiful
Out of once something so destructive
God does the same thing.
He takes our ashes
And He re-creates them into something new
Something beautiful
He takes our destruction
And re-builds our lives
Our ashes for His beauty.
The ash of a volcano
Can be turned into glass
And create something beautiful
Something priceless
Our lives were once ash
But God created a priceless work of art with them.
He is the creator
And re-creator of everything
He holds our ashes in His hands
And exchanges them for His crown of beauty
Crown of redemption.
He takes our ashes
And He re-creates them into something new
Something beautiful
He takes our destruction
And re-builds our lives
Our ashes for His beauty.
We all have our ashes
From the eruption of our lives
From the destruction of the floods
The remains of a broken life
Just a stump remains
A cracked stump
Barely standing
But He takes our remains
And He re-creates something new
He takes our ashes
And creates something for everyone to enjoy
Though the flood caused much destruction
And death hit
Something beautiful is still awaiting.
From death new life forms
From ashes beauty is created
Though the sting of death is painful
Healing and newness awaits
Something so beautiful
That could only be created from a creator
A creator who loves us
Who loves us enough to re-create
Something beautiful from ashes.
From death to life
Ashes to beauty
God is creating and re-creating our lives
He loves us.
He takes our ashes
And He re-creates them into something new
Something beautiful
He takes our destruction
And re-builds our lives
Our ashes for His beauty.
From death
Comes life
And healing
From ashes and destruction
Comes beauty.
Let Him take your ashes
And He re-create them into something new
Something beautiful
Let Him take destruction
And re-builds our lives
Our ashes for His beauty.
Let Him bring life from your death
Beauty from your ashes
Healing from your pain
See how much He loves you...

I am so moved by this song! What a testament to the life we have been given. What I know as "my life" is dead! Jesus, you are my life! The reason that I get up and do anything every day!
Thank you for your sacrifice and your love. I am competely and utterly in debt to you forever!
