Lyrics Up from the Ashes (Live) - Urban Rescue feat. Mike Nelder

My heart was a burial ground
Broken under the surface
With no light to be found
But You pulled me out of the grave
Like a desolate treasure
And You called me by my name

Up from the ashes
God You are making something beautiful
For You have won my heart
No longer ruined
I have been ransomed by Your jealous love
For You have won my heart

My heart was a vessel of war
Sinking under the surface
In the wake of the storm
But You saw the depths of my shame
And with reckless abandon
Triumphed over the grave

Up from the ashes
God You are making something beautiful
For You have won my heart
No longer ruined
I have been ransomed by Your jealous love
For You have won my heart
For You have won my heart

Dear God
It′s hard for me to rest when everything inside beats so fast
Hard for me to accept love when all I've ever known are heart attacks
And heart failures, cardiac arrest, you see
I′m not used to being healthy
Just making sure everyone thinks I am, but who am I?
I always ask myself the question,
Why this fearful heart can't accept your reckless invitations
And maybe I've seen too many brave
Hearts get executed and I′m afraid to be next
Got all this pain locked inside but
I don′t know how to open up my chest
So just leave me to myself 'cuz it hurts to get cut
Except every time that happens, I self-destruct
I lie, I hate, I blame, hurt everyone I love
Like what′s wrong with me God? Am I allergic to love? Your love?
Please help me to receive it like medicine for this low-grade fever
'Cuz I′m so tired of feeling sick and tired
Out of control like a soul that would never be treated
But I heard you love healing broken things
If I step back and surrender all the pieces
And you promised to give me something whole in
Return if all I had to give was a few mustard seeds and
A little bit of faith
A little bit of hope
A little bit of trust to have to believe that's enough
A little bit of faith
A little bit of hope
A little bit of trust to have to believe that′s enough
For You to start also for You to finish
And I'll get out of the way while You handle Your business
I'll lose control while You hold up my senses
Give you all and You take away my defenses
So God, I′m running back to the start
I won′t run anymore
You have my heart

Up from the ashes
God You are making something beautiful
For You have won my heart
And I'm no longer ruined
I have been ransomed by Your jealous love
For You have won my heart
For You, You′ve won my heart, yeah yeah

And I'm no longer ruined
You have won my heart
Oh, my heart
Up from the ashes
