Beauty for ashes

Tamar slept with his father-in-law
Rahab was a harlot
Ruth was from a cursed tribe
Bathsheba was Uriah's wife

But still
Still God chose these women
To be in the lineage
Of His beloved Son; Yeshua

Isn't it amazing
How the Ultimate Perfection
Always chooses the imperfect
To portray His love as identity

Truly He's the God that gives
Beauty for ashes
Oil of joy for mourning
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness
