Kanye West Up From The Ashes

Up from the Ashes” initially appeared to be the introduction to Jesus Is King. The track’s title comes from the phrase “rise from the ashes,” which means to emerge from something that has been destroyed. This expression has its origins in the story of the phoenix, a mythological bird that is born again from the ashes of its predecessor.

The narrative of the phoenix also resembles the account of Jesus Christ’s resurrection from The Bible, who rose from the grave three days after being crucified—this coincides with the overall theme of the album.

The song surprisingly reappeared in late October on Ye’s Donda Stem Player just to be included in the deluxe edition of Donda.

[Refrain: Sunday Service Choir & Kanye West]
I come to You empty, free of my pride
We walk by faith and not by our sight
Declaring the vict’ry, one day at a time
God is our shepherd, light in the night
Cure for the sick, He’s eyes for the blind

[Chorus: Kanye West]
I could tell you, He can show you
God in Heaven, shinin’ on you
Through your message, now I know You
I come to You empty, free of my pride

[Outro: Kanye West]
I come to You empty
