I thought I would not make it<\/span>
\nMy mind, my strength, was gone<\/span>
\nEverything in my life came crashing down<\/span>
\nI felt so all alone<\/span><\/p>\n

Now I’m lookin’ at my life in broken pieces<\/span>
\nOh, what, will I do now<\/span>
\nI want to trust You but I just don’t know how<\/span>
\nAnd right before I threw in the towel<\/span><\/p>\n

God turned it<\/span>
\nAnd gave me<\/span>
\nBeauty, for ashes<\/span><\/p>\n

My storm would not move on<\/span>
\nMy nights, they lasted so long<\/span>
\nThere was, no sign of my morning<\/span>
\nI wanted to give up<\/span><\/p>\n

But You wouldn’t let me be<\/span>
\nYou came and set me free<\/span>
\nI came to You with my pain<\/span>
\nAnd we made an exchange<\/span><\/p>\n

God turned it<\/span>
\nAnd gave me<\/span>
\nBeauty, for ashes<\/span>
\nHe turned it and gave me<\/span>
\nBeauty for ashes<\/span>
\nGod turned it<\/span>
\nAnd gave me<\/span>
\nBeauty for ashes<\/span><\/p>\n

The worst thing in my whole life<\/span>
\nBecame the most beautiful thing<\/span><\/p>\n

The most embarrassing thing that brought so much shame<\/span>
\nBecame the most beautiful thing<\/span><\/p>\n

And like a baby that’s born, all the pain and dirt<\/span>
\nBecame the most beautiful thing<\/span><\/p>\n

For, He turned it<\/span><\/p>\n
