about

This song is a tribute to World Racer Anastasia Sloan and her heart to bring love and hope to the world. She spent her life going on multiple mission trips to Australia and Canada where her love for God's people was evident. In May 2014, she had been preparing for an 11 month mission trip around the world called The World Race. In her blog, she details how she wanted to imitate Christ and was called to learn to love and to give love just as Christ did for her.

Christ called her home on the night of May 5th, 2014. Her work was complete.

She will most be remembered for her infectious smile, witty humor, being a good friend to others, and loving everyone she came in counter with.

lyrics

Ashes

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Into your hands I place my trust

Beauty for Ashes and joy for pain
To live is Christ and to die is gain

Scatter me across the wastelands, from my ashes sown let your glory come a song of praise from despair
Scatter me across the nations, from my ashes sown let your glory rise
a song of love from despair

Don’t let my life or death be in vain
Let your glory fall like rain

flowers in the field and clouds in the sky
To the frailty of life they testify

Scatter me across the wastelands, from my ashes sown let your glory come a song of praise from despair
Scatter me across the nations, from my ashes sown let your glory rise
A song of love from despair

Lord Spread your love

Lord, take me to the valleys where I can grow and more like you. X4
More like you

Lord Spread your love
