Forgive yourself for the mistakes you’ve made
Drop the baggage of yesterday
Don’t relive negative memories
Guard your mind, so you can see
That you have to let go of the old in order to receive the new
“Beauty for Ashes” The Spirit of The Lord says, He has promised you
Lay down bitterness, disappointments and regrets of the past
Don’t replay negative thoughts in your mind
You’ll never get to where you’re going
If you’re always looking behind
Because your past can poison your future
Focus only on what you can change
You’ll have to let go of the ashes
To get God’s beauty in the exchange
Power Verse – Isaiah 61:3 (TLB)
“To all who mourn in Israel He will give; beauty for ashes; joy instead of mourning; praise instead of heaviness. For God has planted them like strong and graceful oaks for His own glory.”
