A song about looking honestly at what's left after loss. Sifting through the ashes shows both what was lost and what survived, and God's grace shows up in the middle of the grief, turning ruin into something new.
Ashes Don't Lie lyrics
I kept the jacket, burned the map Tried to outrun what looked back When the smoke cleared, truth remained Every loss still said Your name No polish here, no pretty frame Just the facts and holy flame Ashes don't lie, they testify What I lost and what survived From ruin to rise, from wreck to right You write in soot, then set it alight Set it alight Apologies I never sent Fists unclenched on what I meant I sift the gray with open hands Find grace like sparks in the sand If beauty lives in what I grieve Teach my eyes to finally see Ashes don't lie, they testify What I lost and what survived From ruin to rise, from wreck to right You write in soot, then set it alight Set it alight Ashes don't lie… they testify You write in soot, then set it alight
