Ashes To Amen

Ashes To Amen

[Verse 1]

I came in torn up

Boots full of rain

Head full of thunder

Hands full of shame

You saw me shaking

By the church back door

Said, "Boy, keep walking

You were made for more"

[Pre-Chorus]

When my knees hit stone

You did not run

You pulled me closer

Till the dark came undone

I was half a voice

Then I heard mine rise

Out of the wreckage

Out of the fire

[Chorus]

Ashes to amen

Ashes to amen

You lift me up again

Ashes to amen

(amen, amen)

[Verse 2]

Old wounds talking

Like they know my name

Broken mirror, broken

But the face is changed

I was built from bruises

You called me your son

Now I walk in daylight

What you started won

[Pre-Chorus]

When my knees hit stone

You did not run

You pulled me closer

Till the dark came undone

I was half a voice

Then I heard mine rise

Out of the wreckage

Out of the fire

[Chorus]

Ashes to amen

Ashes to amen

You lift me up again

Ashes to amen

(amen, amen)

[Bridge]

If I fall, you find me

If I break, you stay

If I lose my way home

You are the way

No more running blind

No more feeding fear

I was barely breathing

Now I'm standing here

[Final Chorus]

Ashes to amen

Ashes to amen

You lift me up again

Ashes to amen

Ashes to amen

I rise through the pain

Ashes to amen

(amen, amen)
