Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
We rise again from ashes from the good we've failed to do.
We rise again from ashes to create ourselves anew.
If all our world is ashes, then must our lives be true,
an offering of ashes, an offering to you.
VERSE 2
We offer you our failures, we offer you attempts,
The gifts not freely given, the dreams not fully dreamt.
Give our stumblings direction, give our visions wider view,
an offering of ashes, an offering to you.
VERSE 3
We rise again from ashes, let healing come to pain,
Though spring has turned to winter and sunshine turned to rain.
The rain we'll use for growing, and create the world anew,
From an offering of ashes, an offering to you.
VERSE 4
Thanks be to the Father, Who made us like Himself,
Thanks be to the Son, Who saved us by His death,
Thanks be to the Spirit, Who creates the world anew,
From an offering of ashes, an offering to you.
