Quote

O make me Thine forever;
And, should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Out live my love to Thee.

Beauty for Ashes

In light of one year without my cousin Darin...may our tears be drowning in His mercy this week.

Beauty for Ashes

Come unto me all ye who labor.
Come, and receive rest from your burdens.
Come, find your tears drowning in mercy.
Come, see your darkness dispelled in My light.





Beauty for ashes, gladness for mourning,
Anthems of joy in place of songs of loud despairing;
Pleasure for sorrow, comfort for grieving,
Covering brokenhearted souls in robes of splendor.

Amy, I was having a devil's time tonight Googling these lyrics. What a treat it was to find them on your page!

Cheers,
