Beauty from Pain / Apr 18, 04:17 PM

This morning I sat at the devo table, wondering when I will see the rainbow at the end of this storm I am going through emotionally right now. I find it so interesting that while I am going through an emotional storm, the people here in New Orleans have literally been through a physical storm and are still seeing all the destruction that it caused them. I am sure God placed me here, not by accident, but on purpose. He knew that after I see all this pain, I will forever see the marks that it leaves on my heart… and it will beautiful.

The lights go out all around me
One last candle to keep out the night
And then the darkness surrounds me
I know I’m alive
But I feel like I’ve died

And all that’s left is to accept that it’s over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder
I feel like I’m slipping away

After all this has passed
I still will remain
After I’ve cried my last
There’ll be beauty from pain
Though it won’t be today
Someday I’ll hope again
And there’ll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I wonder why God let me walk through this place

And though I can’t understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how You’ve brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames

Here and I am at the end of me (at the end of me)
Trying to hold to what I can’t see
I forgot how to hope
This night’s been so long
I cling to your promise there will be a dawn

  1. That’s right girl, there will be beauty after the pain. And I believe it will be even more stunning than if there was no pain. God will get us through this! Love you!
