A Brand New Start

Lord, let me not depart from You,
For if I do I’ll lose my way
And wander where the skies aren’t blue
As clouds blot out the light of day. 

Then night will come, and I’ll be lost,
And grope my way through dark as pitch
As chill will bring the Devil’s frost
And I’ll fall in the Devil’s ditch. 

When all seems lost, I know Your hand
Will part the clouds within my heart
And dawn will lighten all the land
As You give me a brand new start.

For You will save me once again
As I walk in Your breaking dawn
With skies of blue and washed of sin;
The Devil from my life is gone.
