[Verse] Ashes on the forehead mark the start Time to mend and heal every broken part Look within and search the heart's own scars Reach out to the world near and far [Verse 2] Fast away distractions clear the mind Strength in silence let the spirit find Tender moments open up the soul Drawing close to make the spirit whole [Chorus] Ashes begin the path of grace Healing with love in every place God our guide in the dark unknown We walk together we're not alone [Verse 3] Neighbors near with stories deep and true Hands extended bridging old and new Wounds may linger but love will rise In this journey hear our hopeful cries [Bridge] With each step the burdens start to lift Forgive the past it's a sacred gift Hearts align the earth begins to sing In this fasting new life we bring [Chorus] Ashes begin the path of grace Healing with love in every place God our guide in the dark unknown We walk together we're not alone
