From the recording Shine On
This song just jumped out one day when I was messing with my 12 string. I truly love this song! The lyrics came from a sermon I preached the same week I wrote this song! Based off of Revelation 21:1-8. If you listen in the second verse, you'll hear a high "plink" sound. That is the high e string of my Charvel getting caught under the pickup. When I listened back, I thought the sound was cool. Makes the listener go, "What in the world is that?!"
Lyrics
Verse 1
I remember my life before I met YOU
Thought I knew my way, but I was blind
I refused to admit I was wrong
Never moving forward, always looking behind
Pre Chorus
Praises for the new day
Move me past my old way
Mercies are new everyday
From YOU, never to stray
Chorus
See the LIGHT of the new day!
This lost world has passed away
See, I have made All Things New!
No more death or sorrow
No more crying or pain!
Wipe every tear, rid every fear
All Things are New
Verse 2
I remember the day that I sought YOU
Heard YOUR tender voice calling to me
Fell to my knees under Godly sorrow
I once was blind, but now I see!
Verse 3
Now I know this joy only found in YOU
YOU"VE set my feet on the ROCK to stay
From my old life, now I'm free
Only moving forward, to walk in YOUR way!!
