New Bethel - A Place of New Beginnings

You’ve walked this road before
You know each rut by heart.
Looking toward the finish line,
Will you make a brand new start?

You began with lofty dreams,
Reaching for the stars.
But now you drift, bruised and broken,
Careful to hide your scars.

Mistakes were made along the way,
Not proud of all you’ve done.
Retreating in the face of war
You dropped your sword to run.

Standing now on this threshold,
Looking back at where you’ve been….
Searching for the grace you need
To just begin again.

“Weary One, lift up your head....
Restless Soul, be still.
A new day is dawning
Just give to me your will.
Behold, I’ll do a new thing
I’ll make your pathway clear.
It will spring forth. Will you not know it?
The starting line is here….”

In this House - His sanctuary,
Oh, refreshing Spirit, rain
A place for “new beginnings”
A place to heal your pain…
