From Ashes – v2


From the earth, from the ashes
the dust, common stuff
we are formed, humble clay
given living water, the breath of life

after the journey, so to return
our earthly bodies, back to ashes
returning to dust

But like Christ, at the end of the journey
a life of faith, humble servants
following Jesus, our shepherd
from the grave, to the skies
