A Beautiful Recovery

To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. Isaiah 61:3

Lord my heart aches and

My body is broken and weak

But I know there is a beautiful

Recovery waiting for me

Whether it is in my timing or not

Is unimportant to Your daughter

I want it in Your timing not mine

Anything else is just fodder

Lord You make beauty from ashes

The oil of joy instead of mourning

You have taken these ashes of mine

And You make me new every morning
