Me: Can beauty be restored after age takes its toll? Is it beyond hope and past our control? Am I speaking of buildings, cars, or maybe even me? When you look past the facade, what do you see?
A life lived long has many stories to tell Some have seen paradise some have seen hell Our outside bodies reflect what we have gone through When age takes its toll, what can one do?
Lord: I am the restorer of hope and of dreams That which was lost, I came to redeem Beauty is restored when you come to the cross When you die to self, you will not suffer loss
Resurrection only happens after a death For new life to come all it takes is My breath From the ashes of what was, a new body you’ll receive To those who have faith and in Me believe

Matthew 10:38-39 – “Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”
Proverbs 31:30 – “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.”
1 Peter 3:3-4 – “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”
