Ashes (Updated Lyrics) | Ash Wednesday & Lenten Hymn | Catholic Choir w/Lyrics | Lent song

Description

Ashes, written by Tom Conry is one of the most recognized hymns for Ash Wednesday and the Lenten season. With its updated lyrics, the hymn captures the essence of repentance, renewal, and transformation — reminding believers that from the dust we come and to the dust we shall return, yet God’s mercy brings us new life. With its simple, solemn melody and powerful refrain, Ashes invites the faithful to enter Lent with humility and hope, turning hearts back to God in preparation for Easter. Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at St. Francis de Sales Parish in Ajax, ON Canada.

Our penance, Lord, our sorrow, our grieving hearts renew, an offering of ashes, an offering to you. 2. We offer you our failures, we offer you attempts, the gifts not fully given, the dreams not fully dreamt. Our stumblings, give direction, our visions wider view, an offering of ashes, an offering to you. 3. Then raise us up from ashes, your healing ease our pain. Though spring has turned to winter, and sunshine turned to rain, your rain will nurture growing and create our world anew—an offering of ashes, an offering to you. 4. Give thanks to God the Father, who gave us life and breath. Give thanks to Christ the Savior, who saved us by his death, who, with the Holy Spirit, creates the world anew from an offering of ashes, an offering to you. #ashes #ashwednesday #lent #lentensongs #catholic Thanks for watching the video Ashes (Updated Lyrics) | Ash Wednesday & Lenten Hymn | Catholic Choir w/Lyrics | Lent song
