God's people are not dressed in "rags".
He clothes us with His gladness.
We can put off our sackcloth
And put away our sadness!
We can wear salvation
And a garment of bright praise.
We have robes of righteousness
To wear throughout our days!
Glory be unto our God
For giving us rich ornament.
He has given us His best...
Our clothes are Heav'n's adornment.
"Thou has turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness."
Psalm 30:11 KJV
"The Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek... to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness."
Isaiah 61:1 & 3 KJV
