The Ash Heap

Sitting amongst the ash heap
Lord I find you there
Disaster all around me
I have hope in earnest prayer

Sitting amongst the ash heap
I find strength in you
No matter what becomes
I know you will see me through

When I've lost it all in life
I can start anew
Not in my own power
It's all in what You will do!

Sitting on the ground broken
Ashes in my hair
I'm closer to the ground
And I know I find you there

Lord, If this is what it takes
For my heart to seize
Permit the trials come
Lead me down onto my knees
