Ashes for Beauty

There is a song that I have been playing over and over on my Itunes. I absolutely love it and it just keeps my mind centered on the cross as things in my life seem to get crazier and crazier with school work and a new job and trying to maintain friend relationship as well as ministry relationships and family. I've also passed this song along to a good friend who need a reminder that Christ can bear our burdens. His yoke is easy and his burden is light.

If you want to listen to the melody, you totally should. Go to the Itunes store and search for At the Foot of the Cross by either Kathryn Scott or Tammy Trent. 

Here are the lyrics: 

At the foot of the cross

Where grace and suffering meet

Through the judgement you received

And you've won my heart

Yes you've won my heart

Now I can

Trade these ashes in for beauty

And wear forgiveness like a crown

Coming to kiss the feet of mercy

I lay every burden down

At the foot of the cross

At the foot of the cross

Where I am made complete

You have given me life

Through the death you bore for me

And you've won my heart

Yes you've won my heart

Now I can 

Trade these ashes in for beauty

And wear forgiveness like a crown

Coming to kiss the feet of mercy

I lay every burden down

At the foot of the cross
