This is a wonderful song about hope and excitement that God is bringing about a new thing, even in a time of lockdown, limitations and loss. We believe that there are paths springing up in the wilderness of all of this and streams of goodness and abundance flowing even in the desert place. If you don’t feel this for yourself right now, God promises it is coming! Are you looking for it? Are you ready? He is a God who keeps to His promises!
This song was home-produced so massive thanks to @Mike Taylor for album cover artwork and @Craig Lee for adding his personal touch through the drums.
lyrics
Verse 1:
There's a new thing coming,
I can feel it in my heart.
There's a new race running,
And we're standing at the start.
Verse 2:
We put the past behind us,
Looking forward to Your glory.
Every step reminds us,
It's a brand new story.
Pre-chorus:
'Cause You make all things new,
That's just what You do!
Chorus:
You make paths in the wilderness,
Streams in the desert-place,
Beauty from the brokenness.
It's a new thing. It's a new thing.
Verse 3:
You're the God of the new thing,
Here we're waiting for You now.
See the dawn is breaking,
Come and move in power.
Pre-chorus:
'Cause You make all things new,
That's just what You do!
Chorus:
You make paths in the wilderness,
Streams in the desert-place,
Beauty from the brokenness.
It's a new thing. It's a new thing.
Chorus 2:
Dry bones to warriors,
Failures into victories,
Life flows from death's defeat,
It's a new thing. It's a new thing.
Bridge:
Day by day, move by move,
We become more like You.
Day by day, move by move,
We become more like You.
Dark to light, death to life,
All that's lost now renewed.
Fix our eyes, turn our minds,
We desire something new!
Chorus:
You make paths in the wilderness,
Streams in the desert-place,
Beauty from the brokenness.
It's a new thing. It's a new thing.
Chorus 2:
Dry bones to warriors,
Failures into victories,
Life flows from death's defeat,
It's a new thing. It's a new thing.
Outro:
Day by day, move by move,
We become more like You.
