Ashes

+

When all you have left

To offer

Is Ashes

Offer them to The One

Who parlays ashes

Into Amazing Grace

Who brings the Phoenix

Out of the fire

Who In The Beginning

Set the precedent,

Breathing Deity into Dust,

Blowing Dead Bones

Into a Divine Battalion

Man's equity

Allows only

For Ashes to Ashes

Dust to Dust

But God Mercifully turns that math on its ear

Exchanging for our prodigal hearts

Every precious thing in His possession,

All of His Household

With All of His Heart

So Go Ahead,

Lay your ashes on the altar

And see Divine Alchemy

alter Everything
