How Would You Like to Start Over?

How would you like to start over,
Free from all guilt and all sin?
How would you like to begin to live
Your life all over again?
How would you like to be able to say,
“That bondage that’s swallowing me
Beginning today will be under control,
Beginning today, I’ll be free!”
How would you like to start over?
Not bound by the sins of the past.
Beginning to grow in His Likeness,
Ready to blossom at last!
You say, “Well, I’d like to do that!
I’d like God my joy to restore.”
Then open your eyes to what time it is –
That’s what a new year is for!
How would you like to start over,
Beginning your whole life anew?
How would you like to know that God
Had a fresh, clean slate for you?
How would you like to be certain
That even this very day,
God has a brand new life prepared,
The old one passed away?
He does! What God has planned for us
Is growth so real we’ll know,
That we’re becoming just like Him,
As into His likeness we grow.
And all He wants is all of us,
With nothing in between,
And He’ll give us a New Year
Like we have never seen.
Happy New Year, Christian!
Today is the day to begin.
For by God’s Grace even today,
We can start all over again.
