I offer my ashes – v6

I pray from my dust

from my knees

covered in sackcloth

sure of my sin

my estrangement from God

I offer my ashes

my pain, my sorrow

my empty vessel

all of my past

I give unto God

I offer my hope

the unmerited grace

the Spirit within me

I give You my all

my Savior, my God
