Lyrics
I walked through yesterday
My past lingered, tried to stay
And then Your Spirit came
A gentle refrain
A lost moment found again
Thoughts are broken from beginning to end
Every empty space
Is starting to fill in, yeah
Oh, the night is longer, but the dawn is near
Every mystery has never been more clear
From shame to glory, Your power, it can't be denied
From ashes to roses
Beauty and grace from above
When my heart closes
I'm always redeemed by Your love
The smallest moments show Your hand
The softest breeze whispers Your plan
I'm reminded that it will be okay
Oh, the night screams louder than my broken heart
Every scar, a story, every tear, a part
You rise like rain, breaking the chains once again, yeah
From ashes to roses
Beauty and grace from above
I won't stop believing
When my heart closes
I'm always redeemed by Your love
Oh yeah, yeah
From ashes to roses
Beauty and grace from above
I won't stop believing
When my heart closes
I'm always redeemed by Your love
By Your love
From ashes to roses
Beauty and grace from above
I won't stop believing
When my heart closes
I'm always redeemed by Your love, yeah
My past lingered, tried to stay
And then Your Spirit came
A gentle refrain
A lost moment found again
Thoughts are broken from beginning to end
Every empty space
Is starting to fill in, yeah
Oh, the night is longer, but the dawn is near
Every mystery has never been more clear
From shame to glory, Your power, it can't be denied
From ashes to roses
Beauty and grace from above
When my heart closes
I'm always redeemed by Your love
The smallest moments show Your hand
The softest breeze whispers Your plan
I'm reminded that it will be okay
Oh, the night screams louder than my broken heart
Every scar, a story, every tear, a part
You rise like rain, breaking the chains once again, yeah
From ashes to roses
Beauty and grace from above
I won't stop believing
When my heart closes
I'm always redeemed by Your love
Oh yeah, yeah
From ashes to roses
Beauty and grace from above
I won't stop believing
When my heart closes
I'm always redeemed by Your love
By Your love
From ashes to roses
Beauty and grace from above
I won't stop believing
When my heart closes
I'm always redeemed by Your love, yeah
About "Ashes To Roses"
'Ashes To Roses' is a phoenix ballad, Stryper trading fire for fragile bloom. The emotional arc moves from scorched-earth grief to hesitant hope, each verse a charred petal, each chorus a resurrection. The tension is botanical—something beautiful forcing its way through ruin, tender and unyielding.
