Description
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
Hopes a thread unraveling slow But He who holds me will not let go
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
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
Where were You when the silence screamed? Right here, I know, but it′s hard to believe
Still I say with a whispering, trembling limb Even if You slay me, I′ll trust in Him
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
So I lay it all down on the altar again Not whole, not strong, just barely standing
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
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
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
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
