Start Over Again

Open up your eyes
Awake, arise
Love like a hand reaches down
And pulls us up from the dirty ground

Now is the time
To step from the dark into the light
Cause you can’t change what you’ve done
But you can choose who you’ll become

Every moment is a second chance
At starting over, at starting over
Move from the past to the present tense
You can start over, start over again

If you feel ashamed
Of the choices that you’ve made
You can be whole again
And return to your innocence

Yesterday is gone
Today is all you’ve got
You don’t have to be who you’ve been
You can change within
It’s never too late
To start over again

This song has really ministered to my soul the last few days. The thought that Christ allows us to start over, to start fresh, is an amazing thought. No matter what you've done, from the smallest to the largest sin, you are no longer bound to that. I love the line "'Cause you can't change what you've done, but you can choose who you'll become". That is some powerful stuff.


So just to put some encouragement your way, whatever you might have done, not matter how large or small, through Jesus Christ we have freedom and liberation from sin and are no longer bound to our past but are new creatures in Christ. Live in that freedom!



"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17
