The New Has Come

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The time of resolutions made

To face the coming year,

To change from what has been before…

That time is now and here.

 

Without a doubt this broken world

Has chipped away my soul,

But I stand in the flowing grace

That renews and makes whole.

 

I look upon the bitterness

that I see every day,

The anger and self-righteousness

That once led me astray,

 

And I choose to turn back to grace,

Patience and compassion.

For it was through such grace from Him

That I’ve found redemption.

 

I choose to turn back from the world,

Let the old pass away,

And walk with faith the path He laid

That leads to a new day.

 

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
