[Lyrics] Kanye West - Up From The Ashes

“Up From The Ashes” serves as the introduction to Jesus Is King. The track’s title is often used in the phrase “rise from the ashes” which means “to emerge from something that has been destroyed.” This expression originates from a phoenix, which in ancient Greek mythology, is a bird that is born again, obtaining new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor.

Lyrics from Snippet

[Chorus]
Up from the ashes into the sky
Found a redeemer, how I survive
Voice of their mothers, Mary and Christ
Your light has healed me, blessed with new life
I could tell you, He could show you
God and Heaven shinin’ on you
Through your message, now I know you
I come to you empty, free of my pride

[Verse]
(Ooh, ooh)
He ain’t goin’
He ain’t tellin’ none
We ain’t goin’
We ain’t tellin’ none
Nothing’s wrong
And I keep spillin’ in the [?]
I come to you empty, free of my pride

[Chorus]
Up from the ashes into the sky
Found a redeemer, how I survive
Voice of their mothers, Mary and Christ
Your light has healed me, blessed with new life
I could tell you, He could show you
God and Heaven shinin’ on you
Through your message, now I know you
I come to you empty free of my pride

[Outro]
I come to you empty
