Is This a Day of New Beginnings

Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Commissioning Lyrics: 1 Is this 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 How can the seasons of a planet Mindlessly spinning 'round its sun With just a human name and number Say that some new thing has begun? 3 Yet thro' 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. 4 Then let us, with the Spirit's daring, Step from the past and leave behind Its disappointment, guilt, and grieving, Seeking new paths, and sure to find. 5 So let us gather 'round the table To taste and share what love can do. This is the day of new beginnings-- Our God is making all things new. Used With Tune: STEEPLE BELLS

With a word, you formed all beings, filling land, air, and sea; human creatures, in your image, by your sovereign, "Let there be." 2 With a word, you raised up prophets, for a parched and yearning earth, bringing hope to thirsty people with the promise of new birth. With a word you fired their visions with the pow'r of your dreams; "Let my justice roll like waters; and my peace, like flowing streams." 3 With a Word, you came among us, born in flesh and full of grace. In the body of Christ Jesus, you revealed your human face. With his Word, you still inspire us for the work that we do: "Love and live for one another, as I lived and died for you."
