A New Beginning

A new beginning in my walk with you
Out with the old,  and in with the new!
The past behind me--it's now gone from view
So out with the old--in with the new!

A new beginning is all that You see
What happened before, erased from me!
I'll start life anew-- from sin I'm set free!
With all of my failures erased from me!

A new beginning--today's a new day;
A fresh start with you Lord--Lord, have your way!
No matter what comes, remind me to pray,
And start fresh with You-- Lord, have your way!

A new beginning-- it's now time to grow;
Change and renewal-- may it be so!
Your work in my heart--my life to show
Change and renewal-- Lord make it so!

A new beginning-- a gift from your hand,
New blessings today-- Just as You planned!
All footprints beforehand, now washed from the sand,
Lord, bless me today, just as You planned!

A new beginning You've given to me.
A new beginning-- from my past; I'm free!
A new beginning is all that I see;
A new beginning-- in my walk with Thee
