Brand New Start
-------------------------------------------------------
Why is it that I always find
I'm crawling straight back to the grime
From which God pulled me out and saved my soul?
And like a door which just swings shut
I find myself back in the rut
Daily loosing sight of the final goal.

I begin to see the need
In the deepest part of me
Help me today to cast my past aside.

And now I know I need to come apart
And open up the Book that opens up my heart.
Talk to God and let Him do His part.
He'll give me a brand new start.

On the uphill road of life
Through every struggle, every strife,
I know God will mend the broken chords.
So I'll keep trying day by day
Growing, changing so I may
Someday see my life reflect me Lord's.

So I turn to God and pray,
Lord, shape me I'm your clay.
Help me God to change my ways today.

So now I know I need to come apart
And open up the Book that opens up my heart.
Talk to You and let You do Your part.
You'll give me a brand new start.

Help me Lord to set myself apart.
Give me a brand new start.

Use me God, take and cleanse my heart.
Give me a brand new start.

Lord please give me a brand new start.
