Please tell me again, where did we begin

Often we lose sight of where we begin

Doublin’ back around to places we’ve been

 

Tell me again, when was it we did start

to wander off course from where we first start

chasing distraction, vagaries of heart

 

Tell me, promise me the night ends in dawn,

despair’s ravening grip loosens when dawn

breaks and hope brings comfort to the forlorn

 

Tell of the simple times, of our first steps

before the trials and fears loomed o’er our steps;

‘fore my spirit melts and my heart accepts

 

Lies devised to weather my foundation,

forgetting assurance; my foundation

stands not in myself, but Christ’s salvation.

 

Proclaim His great glory makes all things new,

The hope of redemption, faithful and true!
