May your word be the arrow to pierce my stubborn bones and reach the marrow to give me new life, all new life

All things beautiful, all things new Put together all through you to give life, all new life

You crush the grape, to bring forth wine it takes more, it takes time to bring life, all new life

You promised me the promised land but never left my side while I walked the desert sand I want new life, precious life

You say child just be silent, just stay still But I can’t hear you, I’m busy telling you my will Lord help me lay down this life

Speak to me once again like you used to when we were friends, tell me something fresh and new secrets known by only you, whisk me to the mountain top where hope runs freely and doesn’t stop, take my heart of stone and let it be A heart of flesh not misery, When I am your beloved and you are mine Your word the life, the soul, the brine, make of me what you desire make me pure with holy fire, your arrows finding their mark so true A life worth living, is only one spent with you
