Hope in Love’s ashes
Even the bravest hearts lose many battles
Oh, how I have loved and lost
Don’t know if I have the strength to fight on
To bear the cost, I know I must find Hope in Love’s ashes
Braveheart was inspired to fight for the prize of a nation’s freedom
When he lost his dearest prize, his precious wife
Losing the closest love to his heart, he found a new strength to fight
He found Hope in Love’s ashes that bought his struggle new life
Watching mates pump drugs into their veins
And beautiful friends selling their bodies to harm
Hearing a man I knew has taken his life when just two years ago
I pulled him back over a bridge with all the strength in my arms
My heart cut by the pain, aches for a new start
I hear ‘Find hope in Love’s ashes you’ll see a new day’
Whilst I ache for those I’ve lost, Love says to go on,
Hope in Love’s ashes, for them I’ll fight always
Love’s heart broken by pain, came onto our cross
Now we find in that deep hurt, that God is there too
He’s there weeping, longing, hurting as we do
Inspiring us to believe, we can find his Hope in Love’s ashes
