Do you ever fall prey to the "I need to do ___ before I can come to God" lie? The "I need to clean up before I can be made clean" thoughts are amusing when it's other people saying it and you can see the irony, but significantly less amusing when you are caught in the middle of it for yourself.
Come broken and weary
Come battered and bruised
My Jesus makes all things new
All things new
Friends, can I invite you into the truth? Come however you are - that's how God wants you. He wants to make all things new. Not just that one thing that you trusted him with last month. All things. That secret that you would never share with anyone. That place where you are hurt beyond all measure. He wants to make that part new. The places where you are weakest. The things you try so desperately to hide from everyone.
Come lost and abandoned
Come blown by the wind
He'll bring you back home again
Home again
Do you crave for something solid, something that won't blow you around like a boat on the tossing sea in the wind? He can be the safe harbor, the home. The place where you go to love, be loved and find rest. Maybe that isn't your home right now. Maybe you've never experienced that sense of peace and home. Can I invite you to a new kind of home?
So hold on to the promise
The stories are true
that Jesus makes all things new
(The dawn is upon you.)
Hold on to the promise. The stories are true. Jesus make all things new - including you.
The dawn is upon us. Rise up, sleepers.
(Rise up, oh you sleeper.)
(Rise up, oh you sleeper.)
Come broken and weary
Come battered and bruised
My Jesus makes all things new
All things new
Come lost and abandoned
Come blown by the wind
He'll bring you back home again
Home again
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake, (Rise up, oh you sleeper.)
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake, (Rise up, oh you sleeper.)
He makes all things new
All things new
Come frozen with shame
Come burning with guilt
My Jesus, he loves you still
He loves you still
So, rise up, oh you sleeper, awake, (Rise up, oh you sleeper.)
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake, (Rise up, oh you sleeper.)
He makes all things new
He makes all things new
The world was good, the world is fallen
The world will be redeemed
The world was good, the world is fallen
The world will be redeemed
So hold on to the promise
The stories are true
that Jesus makes all things new
(The dawn is upon you.)
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake, (Rise up, oh you sleeper.)
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake, (Rise up, oh you sleeper.)
He makes all things new
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake, (Rise up, oh you sleeper.)
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake, (Rise up, oh you sleeper.)
He makes all things new
He makes all things new
All things new. (All things new.)
All things new. (All things new.)
He makes all things new
