Lyrics:
We rise again from ashes, from the good we've failed to do.
We rise again from ashes, to create ourselves anew.
If all the world is ashes, then must our lives be true,
an offering of ashes, an offering to you.
We offer you our failures, we offer you attempts,
The gifts not fully given, the dreams not fully dreamt
Give our stumblings direction, give our visions wider view
an offering of ashes, an offering to you.
Then rise again from ashes, let healing come to pain,
Though spring has turned to winter, and sunshine turned to rain,
the rain we'll use for growing and create the world anew
From an offering of ashes, an offering to you.
Thanks be to the Father, who made us like himself,
thanks be to the Son, who saved us by his death;
thanks be to the Spirit, who creates the world anew,
From an offering of ashes, an offering to you.

A wonderful song for Ash Wednesday, and to begin the Lenten season! Thanks so much, and God bless all of you!

[@EmmausMusic]

Thank you, S7C. We we’re definitely inspired by your own beautiful version of this lovely hymn. We will pray for you throughout Lent. God bless. 🙏

There are much better hymns and chants like Attende Domini and Parche Domini. Ashes has new age theology and has been condemned by many theologians.
