The Beginning - Michael Card

In the beginning was the beginning, and in it it all began

All that they had was God and the garden, the woman and the man

Before creation learned to groan, the stars would dance and sing

Each moment was new, every feeling was fresh, for the creature her king and

queen

But deep in the heart of that beautiful garden, forbidden truth was found

They were deceived, disobeyed, and were driven from that holy ground

But beside the tree of disobedience, the tree of life did grow

The gift of it’s fruit and eternal beginning, but they would never know

Chorus:

The beginning will make all things new, new life belongs to him

My child begin again

My child begin again

You’re free to start again

This very moment is filled with his power, that wee might start anew

To break us away from the past and the future, he does what he must do And so the Alpha brings to us, this moment to commence

To live in the freedom of total forgiveness, with reckless confidence

Chorus (X2)
