Song lyrics to At The Foot Of The Cross (Ashes To Beauty):

At the foot of the cross

Where grace and suffering meet

You have shown me Your love

Through the judgment You received

 

And You've won my heart

Yes You've won my heart

Now I can

 

Trade these ashes in for beauty

And wear forgiveness like a crown

Coming to kiss the feet of mercy

I lay every burden down

At the foot of the cross

 

At the foot of the cross

Where I am made complete

You have given me life

Through the death You bore for me

 

I'm laying every burden down

I'm laying every burden down

Bring all of yourself to His door:

bring only a part

and you've brought nothing at all. - Hakim Sanai

[Eve]

Anyway

 

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;

Forgive them anyway.

 

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.

 

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

 

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.

 

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

 

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

 

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

 

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

 

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

 

 

Take care,

Eve x
