The Beginning

In the beginning was the beginning

And in it all began

All that they had was God and the garden

The woman and the man

Before creation learned to groan

The stars would dance and sing

Each moment was new, every feeling was fresh

For the creature king and queen

But deep in the heart of that beautiful garden

Forbidden truth was found

That they were deceived, disobeyed and were driven

From that holy ground

But beside the tree of disobedience

The tree of life did grow

The gift of its fruit and eternal beginning

But they would never know

The beginning will make all things new

New life belongs to Him

He hands us each new moment saying

My child begin again

My child begin again

You're free to start again

This very moment is filled with His power

That we might start anew

To break us away from the past and the future

He does what He must do

And so the Alpha brings to us

This moment to commence

To live in the freedom of total forgiveness

With reckless confidence, with reckless confidence

The beginning will make all things new

New life belongs to Him

He hands us each new moment saying

My child, begin again

My child, begin again

You're free to start again

The beginning will make all things new

New life belongs to him

He hands us each new moment, saying

My child, begin again

My child, begin again

You're free to start again
