A christian song...the words are to me great
"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

Those are beautiful words. I only wish I could hear the song itself. Why don't you upload it onto your page or something. My favourite Christian song goes like this :
He can turn the tides
and calm the angry seas
He alone decides
who writes a symphony
He lights up the stars
and makes the darkness bright
He keeps watch all through
the long and lonely night
He still finds the time
to hear a child's first prayer
Saints or Sinners call
will always find him there
Though it makes him sad
to see the way we live
He'll always say
I forgive
Okay, it's actully a hymn from church that I heard the choir singing and fell in love with! hehehe

That's a great idea Hope...for him to post it on his profile page or webpage or blog. It is beautiful and very full of meaning.
I really like the one you added as well. Thank you very much. I am gaining alot of inspiration tonight, just from being on myLot. It is nice to interact with other Christians in such a crazy world.

That is beautiful. Do you know who it is written by? I have never heard it before. I am going to print it out and post it on my wall. I hope that's okay with you. Blessings to you.
