Something Beautiful

If there ever were dreams,
 that were lofty and noble,
They were my dreams at the start,

And the hopes for life's best,
were the hopes that I harbored
Down deep in my heart.

But my dreams turned to ashes,
My castles all crumbled,
My fortune turned to loss.

So I wrapped it all up,
In the rights of my life,
And laid it at the cross.

Something beautiful
Something good
All my confusion,
He understood.

All I had to offer Him
Was brokenness and strife
But He made something
beautiful
out of my life

Something beautiful
Something good
All my confusion,
He understood.

All I had to offer Him
Was brokenness and strife
But He made something
beautiful
out of my life

~ Bill Gaither ~

When trouble seeks to rob your very breathe,
When tragedy hits hard and steals your days,
Recall that Christ endured the sting of death;
He gives us hope, and merits all our praise.
