NEW THINGS (ISAIAH 43:18-22)
It's breaking forth right now, can't you see
it?
Making paths across the desert sands
And cooling streams are flowing in the wilderness
God's people gather there to cup their hands
I know the Lord is good to those who love Him
I know I figure in His master plan
So when I see His hand upon creation
I praise the Lord, He made me what I am
Chorus
Remember not the former things
Consider not the things of old
The covenant has been renewed
The sheep are in the fold
Remember not the former things
Consider not the things of old
Behold I do a new thing
A new thing now, behold
Sometime ago I said I'd be His servant
Sometime ago I said I'd do His will
And though I've often failed to keep my promise
I know His promised love accepts me still
My shepherd cares for every sheep He's given
He will not leave them shivering in the cold
The kingdom of our God is moving forward, not back
The Lord will do a new thing now, behold
(Rpt. Chorus at the end)
