The remnants of ashes, from a broken heart
The weight of all my grief, takes a toll on love
A childlike dream that fades worn down with age
Hidden in the disappointment of religious days
These tears were made, for I was yet to see
The hope that lives within Your dream for me
You’re with me through the pain and suffering
As I will be with You in glory
Hope is rising up from the ashes
Hope is rising up from the ashes
I lean on you dear Father, here I remain
You stay close with mercy as You fill my frame
Through the muddy waters deep an anchor holds
It’s my hope in You, You have control
Hope is rising, it’s coming alive in,
Alive in me, alive in me
