"Give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.... I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness" (Isaiah 61:3,10).
He gave beauty for ashes, joy for my weeping,
And garments of praise for my soul's heaviness:
What did I have that was even worth keeping?
I gave up my sin for my Lord's righteousness!
My soul is now joyful and constantly brags
On Jesus now raised for my justification.
The best I could offer was my filthy rags
Exchanged for the garments of so great salvation!
