Music by David and Ruth Ann Logan, words by Esther J. Howell
"Beauty for ashes,"-- what miracle is this!
That sinners cleansed and saved by grace
Can radiate His glorious face
And share eternal bliss.
"Beauty for ashes,"-- how grand it is to know
My ash of ugly selfishness
Exchanged for His own righteousness
And in His beauty grow.
"Beauty for ashes,"-- what promise rich and rare!
Then help me, Lord, each day, each hour,
That through Thy grace and mighty power
I may Thine image bear.
"Beauty for ashes" will one day be complete,
When we behold Him face to face
Unspotted then from sin's last trace,
Enjoy communion sweet.
