Out of the Ashes Comes New Life

Out of the ashes comes new life
Wide bleak grey fields
Darkened skies
Ashy turmoil
Echoes of plight

Out of the ashes comes new life
An ember still burns
Hidden beneath
Never forget
Our past glory


Out of the ashes comes new life
We were a people of glory and light
Until we fell
Into sin and shame
Remember my people, the light


Out of the ashes comes new lifeTaken captive for our not right
Chains and tears
Remorse and Fears
Slaves until the dawn


Out of the ashes comes new life
Repent! Repent! People of the light
Recant your ways
Turn from the haze
The dawn is soon coming


Out of the ashes comes new life
Free finally from our strife
Onward home
Horizon born
To rebuild our broken home


Out of the ashes comes new life
 Wide bleak grey fields
Broken Zeal
Glimmering light
Don't lose hope my people, we will return to the light


Out of the ashes comes new life
Rebuild those walls!
Under scorn
Open blade
Don't stop building till the dawn comes


Out of the ashes comes new life
Neighbours threaten, strike
52 days
Surprise! Daze
We are safe for another day


Out of the ashes comes new life
Praise the King!
Restored glory
Renewed story
Refined gold through the fire


Out of the ashes comes new life


Based on the story of rebuilding Jerusalem's walls in Nehemiah.
