ALL THINGS NEW

We’ve all had shattered dreams

With pain running through our veins,

But only You can heal our heart

And make us new again.

We’ve all had disappointments

And been betrayed by closest friends,

But Your loving grace and mercy

With Your forgiveness makes amends.

We’re made new by Your touch

As You heal our broken soul,

And restore us and redeem us

When in our heart Your love takes hold.

New again with Your tender peace

As You wipe our tears away,

And You bottle every single one

When we cry to You and pray.

New again by Your mercy

As You seal that painful hole,

That has tormented us with many lies

And with the many of strongholds.

New again and in Your presence

That is everlasting too,

As we reflect on the scars of Jesus Christ

That forever remain true.

Those hand-held scars made all things new

And they bring healing to our land;

To reconcile us back to God

To be safely snuggled in His hand.

New again by the grace of God

As our mission becomes clear,

Where our vision is to do Your will

That we should hold so very dear.
