I have watched the clouds
With missions depth growing in my heart
I have seen the stars
With a love that's cold, filling up my head
Then i felt the pain
Of a love so deep it brought me to the dust
Then i saw the cross
And a voice said "cry out, show them what this means..."
Now that i'm delivered and my body has been broken
You've made me as the lowly and my soul has been set free
Now that i am dust and You have brought me down to nothing
Now that i am ashes, what shall my message be?
We are fading
This is the glory of the cross
We are fading
This is the hope for all the lost
So come and take my dust,
Come and breathe Your breath of life
Come and take my ashes
Shine Your beauty, shine Your beauty
