Verse 1
As I play on my piano and try to find the words
That’ll tell Your broken people
That You know of their hurts
Verse 2
I remember Your scriptures and the promises inside
And my tears become a river and Your heart I cannot hide
Chorus
To the children who are captive to the hearts that are not free
You have come to open prison doors, give life and liberty
For You are wholly acquainted with their sorrow and their grief
But You give beauty for ashes and everlasting peace
Verse 3
And I remember You give honour, not confusion or shame
And You call to the forsaken, to the ones in silent pain
Verse 4
And You count them more precious than anything on this earth
And You want to take them in Your arms and heal them from their hurts
Chorus
Bridge
Beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for those who mourn
Your mercy breaks through darkest night and the night time becomes dawn
And You heal the broken hearted
They are safe in Your care
And You lift the lost and lonely up
You rescue them from despair
