\n

It was the day the world went wrong<\/span>
\n I screamed ’til my voice was gone<\/span>
\n And watched through the tears as everything<\/span>
\nCame crashing down<\/span>
\n Slowly panic turns to pain<\/span>
\n As we awake to what remains<\/span>
\nAnd sift through the ashes that are left\u00a0behind<\/span><\/p>\n

But buried deep beneath<\/span>
\n All our broken dreams<\/span>
\nWe have this hope:<\/span><\/p>\n

Out of these ashes…beauty will rise<\/span><\/em>
\nAnd we will dance among the ruins<\/span><\/em>
\n We will see Him with our own eyes<\/span><\/em>
\n Out of these ashes…beauty will rise<\/span><\/em>
\n For we know, joy is coming in the morning<\/span><\/em>
\n in the morning, beauty will rise<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

So take another breath for now,<\/span>
\nAnd let the tears come washing down<\/span>
\nAnd if you can’t believe I will believe\u00a0for you<\/span><\/p>\n

Cause I have seen<\/span>
\n the signs of spring!<\/span>
\n Just watch and see:<\/span><\/p>\n

Out of these ashes…beauty will rise<\/span><\/em>
\nAnd we will dance among the ruins<\/span><\/em>
\n We will see Him with our own eyes<\/span><\/em>
\n Out of these ashes…beauty will rise<\/span><\/em>
\n For we know, joy is coming in the morning<\/span><\/em>
\nIn the morning<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I can hear it in the distance<\/span>
\nAnd it’s not too far away<\/span>
\n It’s the music and the laughter<\/span>
\nOf a wedding and a feast<\/span>
\n I can almost feel the hand of God<\/span>
\nReaching for my face<\/span>
\nTo wipe the tears away, and say<\/span>
\n “It’s time to make everything new”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Make it all new”<\/span><\/p>\n

This is our hope<\/span>
\n This is the promise<\/span>
\n This is our hope<\/span>
\n This is the promise<\/span>
\n That it would take our breath away<\/span>
\n To see the beauty that’s been made<\/span>
\nOut of the ashes<\/span>
\nOut of the ashes<\/span>
\n That it would take our breath away<\/span>
\nTo see the beauty that He’s made<\/span>
\nOut of the ashes…<\/span>
\nOut of the ashes…<\/span><\/p>\n

Out of these ashes… beauty will rise<\/span>
\nAnd we will dance among the ruins<\/span>
\n We will see Him with our own eyes<\/span>
\n Out of this darkness…new life will shine<\/span>
\nAnd we’ll know the joy is coming in the morning<\/span>
\nIn the morning…beauty will rise<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, Beauty will rise<\/span>
\n Oh, Beauty will rise<\/span>
\n Oh, oh, oh, Beauty will rise<\/span>
\n Oh, oh, oh, Beauty will rise<\/span>
\n Oh, oh, oh, Beauty will rise<\/span><\/p>\n
