© Peter S. Barratt April, 1978


Guitarists: Sounds best played with "D" form chords and capo on 3rd fret.

F                                C            F
It's breaking forth right now, can't you see it?
Bb                   F                         Gm       C
Making paths across the desert sands
        F                           C                 F
And cooling streams are flowing in the wilderness
          Bb                   Gm                     C      Bb
God's people gather there to cup their hands

  F                           C                      F
I know the Lord is good to those who love Him
   Bb                 A                  Dm
I know I figure in His master plan
      C                   C7              A     Dm    Bb
So when I see His hand upon creation
   C                           Bb           C       F
I praise the Lord, He made me what I am

Chorus

F               Bb                  C
Remember not the former things
                F                     Dm
Consider not the things of old
       C                 C7
The covenant has been renewed
       Bb           C      F
The sheep are in the fold
                  Bb                  C
Remember not the former things
               F        Am         Dm    Bb
Consider not the things of old
    C               Gm
Behold I do a new thing
    Bb          C          F
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)
