BEAUTY FOR ASHES
More precious than the mermaid's are my tears
More torrid than sea storms are my fears
He knows when I cry
Every drop that glisten my cheeks in sorrow
And when in sadness I wallow
It is He who provides for the sparrows
He understands my plight
He speaks but a word
And the darkness takes flight
He has given me beauty for ashes
For my tears are far more precious than a mermaid's.
