Crown of Beauty for Ashes

I will wait for . . . My beloved When I had nothing left to offer Just pieces of me just left at His altar LOST – God found me Showed me to focus on eternity Abandoned – Lonely – Scared He called out my name Loved me through my pain Relieved from any of my own shame Restore – Protect – Redeem I know to God I am the world Daddy's sweet princess—His little girl Confirming HIS precious love for me Teaching me WHO I AM – my spiritual identity My Father knows my heart I know now God's promises never fall apart God keeps me safe from any harm My FATHER God, holds me safe in His strong arms Nurture – Compassionate – Loyal God is my strength and refuge in my time of need Needed to trust You, have faith, & BELIEVE You are Sovereign Lord during all my strife Preparing me for a future and a good plan for my life Getting to know Him during testing & tears Faithful and true to me all these years Humble, I had nothing left to offer I will truly surrender and lay myself at His altar Marked – Servant – Righteous BROKEN—God saw me complete Once again, I lay my ashes at His feet Patiently, as I wait to see Beauty that God will make of me Look into my heart full of PEACE, HOPE & LOVE Hoping everyone will see me as my Father does My promise to God I belong Surrender my life to be His song Want to be preparing for Your bride to be My PRINCE of Wholeness to rescue me Covenant – Love – Freedom I will wait for . . .
