"Up From The Ashes"

 "Up From The Ashes"

Urban Rescue

Feat. Mike Nelder

(Eccl. 9:3); Matt. 15:19; (Mark 7:21, 22)

My heart was a burial ground

Broken under the surface with no light to be found

But You pulled me out of the grave

Like a desolate treasure

And You called me by name

Up from the ashes

God You are making something beautiful

For You have won my heart

No longer ruined 

I have been ransomed by Your jealous love

For You have won my heart

My heart was a vessel of war 

Sinking under the surface in the wake of the storm

Oh, but You saw the depths of my same

And with reckless abandon 

Triumphed over the grave

Up from the ashes

God You are making something beautiful

For You have won my heart

No longer ruined 

I have been ransomed by Your jealous love

For You have won my heart

Dear God, it's hard for me to rest when everything inside of me beats so fast

Hard for me to accept love, when all I've ever known are heart attacks, and heart failures, cardiac arrests 

You see, I am not used to being healthy, just sure everyone around me thinks I am

But who am I? I always ask myself the question 

Why this fearful heart can't accept Your reckless invitations

And maybe I've seen too many brave hearts get executed and I'm afraid to be next 

Got all this pain locked inside, but I don't know how to open up my chest

So just leave me to myself 'cause it hurts to get cut

Except every time that happens I self-destruct 

I lie, I hate, I blame, hurt everyone that I love

Like what's wrong with me God? Am I allergic to love, Your love

Please  help me receive it like medicine for this low grade fever

'cause I'm so tried of feeling sick and tried out of control like a soul that will never be treated 

But I heard You love healing broken things

If I step back and surrender all of the pieces 

And You promised to give me something whole in return 

If all I have to give was a few mustard seeds

And a little bit of  faith, a little bit of hope, a little bit of trust

I have to believe it's enough for You to start, also for You to finish 

I'll get out of the way while You handle Your business 

So God, I'm running back to the start

I won't run anymore

You won my heart 

Break me, mold me,

Take me, use me

You won my heart

You won my heart

Find me, free me

Heal me, lead me

You won my heart

You won my heart
