Create Again

Separated from nightYou spoke and then there was lightThey point to YouDivided water from landBowing to Your commandThey point to YouThe sun that’s blazing at noonAnd every phase of the moonThey point to You.A baby’s cry and the wayA sunset closes the dayThey point to You.For You’re the only One worth praisingMore radiant than earth and skyAnd everyday that I survey Your creationI see why I see whyGod of everything I see,Come create again in meYou were yesterdayand You will always beSo take each breath that I breatheAnd be the life that I bleedCreate again in meThe storm that’s raging at seaThe little child on her kneesThey point to YouYour grace that’s poured out on meThe sacrifice on a treeThey point to YouYour Word vaults across the skyFrom sunrise to sunsetMelting the ice, scorching the desertWarm our hearts to faith(create again in me)Behind the Song:"I don’t know how anyone who has ever flown in an airplane can look at all the amazing sites of nature and not believe in a Divine Creator. I was reading Psalm 148 and noticed how God set all these things in place: the sun and moon, morning stars, rain clouds, hurricanes, fire and hail, snow and ice, snakes and birds, kings, leaders, men and women, ‘greybeards’ and children. The psalmist calls all of God’s creation to give praise to Him who created them, and then mentions that out of all these things, He’s built a monument—not the Himalayas or Mount Fuji, but us! “His very own people!” It blows my mind that, out of all of the amazing natural wonders I can see from 40,000 feet, God chose humans to be the monument that points to His worth and His glory more than anything else. I was reminded of King David’s prayer: “Create in me a clean heart, oh Lord my God, and renew a right spirit within me.” My prayer in this song is directed to the Creator of the Universe, acknowledging all that He has done, and then asking that He would create again, but this time, in me." - Aaron Shust
