The Beginning by Michael Card Lyrics

In the beginning was the Beginning
In Him it all began
All that they had was God in 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
And 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
