NEW BEGINNINGS
Brand new beginnings and brand new
Starts, the Son of God came to give us
Brand new hearts....those who believe
He guarantees that the Holy Spirit will
Come and retrieve what he's said, and
Keep your spirit fed, when focused on
Him without holding back; he's faithful
And true....he'll always finish what he's
Started to do, build your faith, maturing
Mind and soul, no more spinning out of
Control if we submit to His way, instead
Of the world, it's the good shepherd who
Brings sweet peace, delivers from past
Failures and grief, when inviting him in
We become new creatures, with brand
New goals, and courage to follow Him,
Spreading the good news of love's great
Story, how the Savior came from glory to
Seek and save the lost, paid the greatest
Price for us to receive eternal life, in Him.
