"Beauty For Ashes" lyrics

I thought I would not make it
My mind, my strength, was gone
Everything in my life came crashing down
I felt so all alone
Now I'm lookin' at my life in broken pieces
Oh what, will I do now
I want to trust you but I just don't know how
And right before I threw in the towel

God turned it
And gave me
Beauty, for ashes

My storm would not move on
My nights, they lasted so long
There was, no sign of my morning
I wanted to give up

But you wouldn't let me be
You came and set me free
I came to you with my pain
And we made an exchange

God turned it
And gave me
Beauty, for ashes
He turned it and gave me
Beauty for ashes
God turned it
And gave me
Beauty for ashes

He turned it [x5]
And gave me, beauty for ashes

The worst thing in my whole life
Became the most beautiful thing

The most embarrassing thing that brought so much shame
Became the most beautiful thing

And like a baby that's born, all the pain endured
Became the most beautiful thing

For, he turned it
