Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #495 (2013) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 This is a day of new beginnings,
time to remember and move on,
time to believe what love is bringing,
laying to rest the pain that’s gone.
2 For by the life and death of Jesus,
Love’s mighty Spirit, now as then,
can make for us a world of diff’rence,
as faith and hope are born again.
3 Then let us, with the Spirit’s daring,
step from the past and leave behind
our disappointment, guilt, and grieving,
seeking new paths, and sure to find.
4 Christ is alive, and goes before us
to show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
our God is making all things new.
[For Communion, alternate stanza 4] -
In faith we'll gather round the table
to taste and share what Love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
our God is making all things new. Topics: Baptism; Communion; Confession; Confirmation; Faith; Forgiveness; Jesus Christ's Death; New Year; Pentecost; Renewal; Repentance; Surrender Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 Languages: English Tune Title: BEGINNINGS
