#342Is This a Day of New Beginnings?

1
Is this a day of new beginnings, Time to remember and move on, Time to believe what love is bringing, Laying to rest the pain that's gone?
2
How can the seasons of a lifetime, Mindlessly spinning round its sun, With just a human name and number, Say that some new thing has begun?
3
Yet thro' the life and death of Jesus, Love's mighty Spirit, now as then, Can make for us a point of difference, As faith and hope are born again.
4
Then let us, with the Spirit's daring, Step from the past and leave behind Our disappointment, guilt, and grieving, Seeking new paths, and sure to find.
5
Christ is alive, and goes before us To show and share what love can do. This is a day of new beginnings; Our God is making all things new.
