Travis Allen Cottle - Out Of Ashes
Pouring pavement round a house next to a graveyard
They've finally turned that place around
With the mustard colored paint
And the walls cracked and dry
It wasn't something that we wanted
But now it's back alive
It reminds me how God builds his church
With the hands of the broken and used
And I've been pouring new pavement
Around my life with you
It's been a long time building
And tearing things up too
So many times I didn't have the answers
But we'd see it out on our own
Wish I could walk back the moments
When I was young and didn't care
And yet through it all
Your Spirit was there
The Lord lifts us out of ashes
And teaches lessons on the way
Oh your Spirit calmed our souls
And taught us to be bold
And no matter what was on us
I can confidently say
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
I've seen all the ones that hurt me fade away
They no longer hold a grip on me
By the time I met my wife
I thought we'd seen everything
From the spurn of old lovers
To missed opportunities
But when Fall was ending we got the news
I was staying in Ireland
And the fiddles kept on playing
As the conversation burned on
And it's hard to hold your faith
When the illness prolongs
When you got sick I took care of you
I did the best I could
You would lean on a cart
As we walked through the aisles
I wish we leaned more on our Savior
When we went through these trials
The Lord lifts us out of ashes
And teaches lessons on the way
Oh I want to stay forever
In Your ever present light
And no matter what is on us
I know this today
You are here
You are here
You are here
You are here
You are here
Always and forever
You are here
You are here
Always and forever
You are here
He says
Please know that I will care for you
Please know that I will love you too
Please know that I will care for you
Please know that I will care for you
Please know that I will love you too
Please know that I will care for you
