OPPORTUNITIES TO START AFRESH
Our God, the great creator of all truth and love,
Will welcome all who need His saving, healing grace
Answering my cries of despair and disbelief
With quiet assurance shining from his face.
His loving promises hold firm, though often masked
By human sin and selfishness, and He when called,
Will lift my heart, and strengthen me to bear my pain,
And though my burdens weigh me down, I will not fall.
However many times I need forgiveness for my sin,
Even if a million misdemeanours mar my days,
He sets me free to love and work, each times He sends
A new beginning and the chance to change my ways.
Every day brings opportunities to start afresh
Free in the overwhelming knowledge of His love,
Whatever life may bring I’ll trust His gracious Word
And gradually towards my heavenly home I’ll move.
