I Can Begin Again

Beginning in 2009, I was stumbled upon one of my fave song from the past :)

I always love the tune (somehow reminds me of cool breeze on a windy day, of the gentle stroke of the Holy Spirit who accompanies me wherever I go). And yet, how wonderful the chorus reflecting the yearning of my heart :)

I CAN BEGIN AGAIN
by Larnelle Harris

Alone again in a crowded room
Cornered by the questions in my mind
It's so hard to understand
How the life that I had planned
Stole my joy and left me far behind

Though all I have is lost it seems
In the shadow of a dream that used to be
I can look beyond the skies
Deep into the Father's eyes
And see that there is hope for one like me

CHORUS:
I can begin again
With the passion of a child
My heart has caught a vision
Of a life that's still worthwhile

I can reach out again
Far beyond what I have done
Like a dreamer who's awakened
To a life that's yet to come
For new beginnings are not just for the young

I face the dawn of each brand new day
Free from all the doubt that gripped my past
For I've found in trusting Him
That everyday life starts again
As I look toward the things of life that last

CHORUS:
I can begin again
With the passion of a child
My heart has caught a vision
Of a life that's still worthwhile

I can reach out again
Far beyond what I have done
Like a dreamer who's awakened
To a life that's yet to come
For new beginnings are not just for the young

I can begin again
With the passion of a child
My heart has caught a vision
Of a life that's still worthwhile

I can reach out again
Far beyond what I have done
Like a dreamer who's awakened
To a life that's yet to come
For new beginnings are not just for the young

New beginnings are not just for the young
New beginnings are not just for the young

As I looked back, I thank God for His wonderful providence and grace in my life throughout 2008. Even though now my situation is still not seemingly bright and even though I don't know what the future is, I am so glad to be reminded of HIS wonderful love...that I can begin again, with a passion of a child, that even though all I have seemed lost, I can look into my Father's eyes and found tremendous grace there. Grace that reach out to me in my pit of sin and failures, of doubt and pain, and lift me up to another brand new start again, towards a worthwhile life of things that last.

Thank You Jesus, Jesus, thank You for a new beginning in YOU. Amen.
