In 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 fruit 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"
