I forgot to add a verse to the above…

The Ash Heap

Sitting amongst the ash heap
Lord I find you there
Disaster all around me
I have hope in earnest prayer

Sitting amongst the ash heap
I find strength in you
No matter what becomes
I know you will see me through

When I’ve lost it all in life
I can start anew
Not in my own power
It’s all in what You will do!

Sitting on the ground broken
Ashes in my hair
I’m closer to the ground
And I know I find you there

Lord, If this is what it takes
For my heart to seize
Permit the trials come
Lead me down onto my knees

heard this quote this morning and it inspired this poem:
The Ash Heap

Sitting amongst the ash heap
Lord I find you there
Disaster all around me
I have hope in earnest prayer

Sitting amongst the ash heap
I find strength in you
No matter what becomes
I know you will see me through

When I’ve lost it all in life
Ashes in my hair
I’m closer to the ground
And I know I find you there

Lord, If this is what it takes
For my heart to seize
Permit the trials come
Lead me down onto my knees

I no longer remember. I wish I’d included that when it was fresh in my mind.
