As the Phoenix

Amazing grace,
How sweet this sound,
That lifts my soul
Up off the ground.

Though bleeding and battered,
Tattered and worn,
From these scattered ashes,
A new hope is born.

As the phoenix doth burn
And erupt in the flames,
It arose a new creature
With its own life and name.

Just as through death,
A new creature came forth,
Christ brings a new person,
And He gives them new worth.

Jesus gives hope,
Great peace and true love,
Which rains down upon us,
From Heaven above.
