Lyrics
Description
(verse)
I don't recognize the girl in the mirror
She smiles less now—her light’s grown thinner
My body's broken, my spirit bruised
And joy feels like a language I never used
They say He gives beauty where ashes fall
But all I feel is the weight of it all
Hope’s a thread unraveling slow
But He who holds me will not let go
(chorus)
So I lay it all down on the altar again
My dreams, my pain, my trembling hands
If I must walk through fire, Lord, walk me through
I’ve got nothing left—only trust in You
This broken hallelujah, this silent praise
Let it rise from the ruins You haven’t yet raised
Ashes and altar—meet me here
God of the weeping, draw near
(verse)
I’m tired of smiling when it’s all pretend
Of bleeding alone, of losing again
They said they’d come—but no one came
Still, You whispered softly, called my name
When love walked out and left me bare
You stayed behind, You always care
Your grace became the ground I knew
When every step just broke me in two
(bridge)
Where were You when the silence screamed?
Right here—I know—but it's hard to believe
Still I say with a whisper and trembling limb
Even if You slay me, I’ll trust in Him
(verse)
Don’t tell me it gets better with time
Some wounds don't heal—they just learn to hide
The laughter’s gone, the joy feels fake
And every breath still makes me ache
No sudden peace, no silver line
Just walking forward half-alive
But if You’re still here in all this pain
Then stay with me—don’t let it be in vain
(chorus)
So I lay it all down on the altar again
Not whole, not strong—just barely standin’
If ashes are all I’ve got to give
Then let this offering truly live
This broken hallelujah, this raw lament
I’m not alright—and I won’t pretend
Ashes and altar—take what's real
God of the grieving, come and kneel
(revised verse)
I didn’t worship—I just wept
Curled in the dark where the silence crept
I didn’t sing—I only stared
At all the prayers You never spared
I bit my tongue to hold back rage
But grief still howled inside my cage
If this is faith, it’s cracked and thin
But it’s the only thing I’ve got within
(bridge)
Still the silence screams at night
Still I question wrong and right
But if You’re near—then don’t let go
I’m still Yours, and that’s all I know
(final chorus)
So I lay it all down on the altar again
This bruised and barren, trembling amen
You catch each tear that falls unseen
You hold the ache inside of me
Ashes and altar—let Your fire fall
Not to fix me, but to hold it all
I’m still here, not healed—but known
And You won’t crush this bruised soul
