Lately I have not been the kind of person who sees the glass half full. Actually, I have been more of the kind of person you would want to avoid if you are already feeling rather low because I would only bring you further down. Today, however, began quite differently. I knew as I stepped out the door that I was headed for traffic (I heard about it on the radio), but figured there was really no shorter way to go (that was probably an incorrect assumption, considering how much time I spent at a stand-still). I opened the sun-roof, turned up the music and sat there… waiting. I looked to the east and noticed a distinctly pink hue in the sky. Moments later, a bright orange sun appeared at the horizon. It was absolutely breath-taking!
He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair
When sorrow seems to surround you
When suffering hangs heavy oer your head
Know that tomorrow brings
Wholeness and healing
God knows your need
Just believe what He said
He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair
I once was lost but God has found me
Though I was bound I’ve been set free
I’ve been made righteous in His sight
A display of His splendor all can see
