Begins - Acappella

To an aged man God spoke

Words that sounded like a joke

Soon his wife would bear a child

A saying hard to reconcile

So he asked, can this thing be?

Can a nation spring from me?

With a body grown so old

In a word this man was told

Your life begins with God

Your love begins with God

Your hopes and your dreams

And your plans begin with God

Your life begins with God

Your love begins with God

Your hopes and your dreams

And your plans begin with God, begin with God

From a valley full of bones

To a man of God, well known

Came a vision strange but true

Mighty things the Lord would do

He would breathe them back to life

His command caused them to rise

Like the nation He would raise

To the glory of His praise

Repeat Chorus

I was standing on the edge of the world

Hopelessly alone in the dark

In the beginning all was empty and void

In my mind, my soul, my heart of hearts

The Creator came and moved in my life

He spoke and turned my darkness to light

Day by day He’s rearranging my ways

He’s my Lord, my God, my King

To a leper on his face

To a woman’s dark disgrace

To a prisoner’s empty night

To a blind man’s quest for sight

To a mother’s boy lying dead (you're not alone)

To a beggar’s plea for bread (you're not alone)

To a lame man’s crippled bones (you're not alone)

To a stranger’s journey home (you're going home)

Repeat Chorus

Begins with God (Begin with God, Begin with God)

Begins with God (Begin with God, Begin with God)

Begins with God (Begin with God, Begin with God)

Scriptural Reference:

«By faith Abraham, even though he was past age--and Sarah herself was

barren--was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who

had made the promise.

and so from this one man, and he as good as dead,

came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the

sand on the seashore.»
