Carleen Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 My pastor played this song for me last night, and it seemed like something I might have wrote. Although I'm not quite to the point yet where I see any possible beauty from my pain, the rest of it speaks to me. I've uploaded it to the web and included a link if you want to listen to it. Otherwise I've also posted the lyrics. http://www.esnips.com/doc/e71dae2a-b6e4-4434-aba1-ccb5eb056af1/Beauty-From-Pain.wma?null The lights go out all around me One last candle to keep out the night And then the darkness surrounds me I know I'm alive But I feel like I've died And all that's left is to accept that it's over My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made I try to keep warm but I just grow colder I feel like I'm slipping away (Chorus) After all this has passed I still will remain After I've cried my last There'll be beauty from pain Though it won't be today Someday I'll hope again And there'll be beauty from pain You will bring beauty from my pain My whole world is the pain inside me The best I can do is just get through the day When life before is only a memory I wonder why God let me walk through this place And though I can't understand why this happened I know that I will when I look back someday And see how you've brought beauty from ashes And made me as gold purified through these flames (Chorus) Here I am at the end of me (at the end of me) Trying to hold to what I can't see I forgot how to hope This night's been so long I cling to your promise there will be a dawn (Chorus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Tears dripping on a keyboard here in Indiana. That was perfect, Carleen, just perfect. It fits me, too. GOD BLESS YOU! Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztweb Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Carleen, This is beautiful. Someday you will see the miraculous hand of God, and someday you will understand. You know, I was thinking about your other post...the one where you said you woke thinking you heard someone say you are beautiful. Don't you think it was Keith? I do. I think he sent you that. Sent that to you not for pain, but for passion. He sent that to let you know he is OK, and that you WILL be ok. It gives me shivers to think about, but I believe it. May God bless you today and always Carleen. I sent you a few things in the mail yesterday, through LCSC, so it will be a while. Stay strong!

tnmynatt Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Carleen, Finally figured out a way to listen to the song. It spoke volumes. I understand and I hate that we have to go on somehow. Take care and keep sharing and leaning on your friends/family. You (and I) will get better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tr Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 C, This is a beautiful song. And as you said, quite fitting. Perhaps Keith sent this one down for you?? I find it wonderful that you have found a way to express/share your feelings with music...Keith's passion. Something the two of you shared for many years. Although I am not with you every day, I am thinking of you constantly. You are in my heart....both during the day, and at night. You are not alone...please believe me when I say that.
