"Beauty From Pain"

What is going on in the world? I have talked to so many people lately that are having a very hard time in life right now, myself included. Now what I am dealing with is nothing compared to some of the things that others are going threw. It did get me thinking about the song form the band Super Chick (yes I am a huge Super Chick fan) Beauty From Pain. Several years ago when the song came out I was in a very bad and dark place in my life. I would listen to the song over and over and wonder when my beauty would come. I still wonder when it will come but I know that I am on the path to finding it. I do not think my true and full beauty will come till I have gone home to be with my God. Every day that I live and try to surrender to His will is taking me one step closer to my beauty. Even in the hart ache of this life we can still see some of the beauty that will come to use when we make it home. I think some of the beauty we see in this life is people being healed form their past, people loving others even when they know the true person, worshiping and serving God the way He made us to. I also think that we need to try hard at times to look for the beauty when life gets us down. If all we ever look at is the pain we will never see the beauty to inspire us to reach for more beauty. Even when we don't want to let go of the pain because it has been a part of us for so long. If we don't let go of the pain and reach for our beauty we are robbing the world of one more thing of beauty. We all know that this world needs more beauty in it and much less pain. So here are the words to "Beauty From Pain" I hope that they will help you as much as they have helped me.
"Beauty From Pain"
The lights go out all around me
One last candle to keep out the night
And then the darkness surrounds me
I know I'm alive but I feel like I've died
And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder
I feel like I'm slipping away

After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I'll wonder why God lets me walk through this place
And though I can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how You've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames

After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

Here I am, at the end of me
Tryin to hold to what I can't see
I forgot how to hope
This night's been so long
I cling to Your promise
There will be a dawn

After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain
