True Love's Kiss

Beauty from ashes; true love's kiss.
You found me in chains; a broken child of fears and fists.

You told me I was beautiful; yeah, You told me I was Yours.
Beauty from ashes; Oh how I need you near me, Lord.
Oh, but no one ever said this would be easy

and as I'm liftin' up my hands;
my heart still breaks but pain's the plan sometimes it seems;
(someday redeemed)
And it takes faith to keep on tryin' when your eyes just keep on cryin'
but just keep on cryin'


Beauty from ashes; true love's kiss.
You broke all these chains; yeah You did all of this.

You told me I was beautiful; yeah, You told me I was Yours.
Beauty from ashes; oh, how I need you more and more.
Oh, but no one ever said this would be easy (and it ain't easy)

Every day I keep on yearnin', and I long to feel that burnin' in my soul (oh God, I'm growin' cold)
But  it takes faith to keep on tryin' when your eyes just keep on cryin'
so just keep on cryin'


Beauty from ashes; true love's kiss.
You called my name.  You nailed my shame. You died for all of this.

You told me I was beautiful; yeah, You told me I was Yours.
Beauty from ashes; it's You I adore.

You never said it would be easy.  You only said you'd never leave me (never leave me)
and so tonight I'll close my eyes;
I'll be still and I'll hold on tight to my Jesus...
my Sweet Jesus...

Once and for All

I am forgiven.  Once was for all.

I am forgiven forever.  I've been freed from that fall.

There is nothing, I said nothing that can be said or can be done that could ever separate me from God's One and only Son.

I am free.  Free to be who I am.

I have been freed- by the Great I Am.

So who could say anything or do what I so fear?

I cannot be lost, I will not be tossed, so I will go and draw near.

I am redeemed.  A child of the Living Lord.

I have been redeemed- so what do I keep searching for?

Why am I scared?

Why do I hide?  

Why do I listen to those lies?

I am redeemed, forever made clean, I will lift up my eyes.

I am restored.  My life has been spoken for.

Oh yes, restored.  A precious child of the risen Lord.

The darkness made light, the truth and the life, oh nothing I said nothing could keep me a prisoner of this world.

and so I sing!  Yes I sing to my King- a song of -I am free!  A song of blessed be!  I will sing forever to my King!
