New Life Begins

New Life Begins

Among bright bloom,

among good friends,

among our thoughts,

new life begins...

...begins with hope,

...begins with Thee,

...begins with grace,

eternally.

 

From breath of birth to end of day,

Come, Jesus, come -

and come what may.

 

The sun moves quickly through the sky.

Come, Jesus, come -

for we know why.

 

As brightness dims and all seems lost -

Come, Jesus, Come -

two timbers crossed.

 

It dims, the more and death we face.

Come, Jesus, Come -

You offer grace.

 

Repentance peaks as darkness looms.

Come, Jesus, Come -

Forgiveness blooms.

 

The sun surrenders to the west.

Come, Jesus, Come -

when laid to rest.

 

But Heaven calls bright morning sun-

Come, Jesus, Come -

to live as one.

 

Among bright bloom,

among good friends,

among our thoughts,

new life begins...

...begins with hope,

...begins with Thee,

...begins with grace,

eternally.
