Feeling broken? weary? battered and bruised?
Or perhaps you feel lost and abandoned. Maybe frozen with shame? Or burning with guilt?
Guess what: Jesus makes all things new. (Isaiah 65:17)
Sure, things are bleak right now. The world is fallen - This much is obvious, not only from looking around ourselves, but even more so when we look within ourselves. Oh, it's ugly out there, but it's downright horrific in my heart.
But guess what: Jesus makes all things new. (Revelation 21:1-8)
This week's Song of the Week is by Andrew Peterson, and it's called All Things New (Click the song title to listen to this song, and his entire album, Resurrection Letters, Vol. II).
All Things New
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!
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake!
He makes all things new, all things new
Come frozen with shame, come burning with guilt
My Jesus loves you still, loves you still
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake!
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake!
He makes all things new, He makes all things new
The world was good
The world is fallen
The world will be redeemed
So hold on to the promise, the stories are true
Jesus makes all things new (The Dawn is upon you)
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake!
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake!
He makes all things new
