Beauty From Pain


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 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

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 lets 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

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

Here I am 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

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

What a beautiful song... I'll keep those words tucked away in my heart too.
And I'm so sorry this is your journey, I so wish it wasn't...

is that your own picture? Is that at the burial ground where Noah is buried? Very beautiful.

I really love that song, I suggested that Kim should bring it to your attention because I thought you would like it and connect with it as well.

Like the others, I also wish that this was not the reality you are dealing with, and wish there was more we could do to lessen your burden of grief and pain.

Thinking of you and continuing to thank God for giving you strength to face each day.

My prayers for you Nichole continue as you grieve for your beautiful son Noah. I am so sorry. Thinking about you all.

When I think of your courage in your journey with Noah, the battles you faced. The worrisome days and nights. The days spent apart from Brad and the kids. God sustained you and Brad through all of that. Now you walk a different road. A road that you knew all along could happen, but more difficult than anything you could have ever imagined. God will again sustain you, and bring beauty from the pain. "He will give you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness..." Isaiah 61:3 We love you and hold you close to our hearts. Love mom

Nichole how beautiful. We are still praying for you. It is hardest to say "He gives and takes away...blessed be His name" when its OURS that He takes away. My heart is touched. Deeply.

Noah we will never forget you. Your laugh is echoing through heaven baby boy.
