[Verse 1] I’m sick of hearing echoes of who I used to be Every wrong turn shouting back the shame at me Tried to drown the guilt in the noise and the lights But it followed me home every single time [Verse 2 - tragic, emotional] I wear my scars like they’re all I am Every failure written on my hands If I could rewind, I swear I’d change it all But the past keeps me pinned to the wall [Pre-Chorus] I keep running but can't escape I'm tied to my past and it's a heavy weight I need to fill this hole in my chest but nothing fits I'd need a miracle now to get me out of this [Chorus] I just want a new beginning Some way out of all this pain A clean break, a chance at living Without these chains, without this shame If there’s more than what I’ve been in I need a reason, need the truth I just want a new beginning And a reason to push through [Verse 3 - soft] Then I heard Your name from my darkest place Not in anger, but in grace You didn’t list my every mistake You just said, “Come, let Me take your weight” [Pre-Chorus - bright music, hopeful voice] For the first time I could finally breathe Like hope was reaching out for me And in the middle of my broken life I found more of a reason than to simply survive [Chorus] I found a new beginning At the foot of an old rugged cross You took my sins, and You've forgiven All my lies and all my wrongs You saw me at my worst moment And still You chose me, still You stayed I found a new beginning When You rolled my stone away [Bridge - Heavy, Powerful] I was dead in my decisions Buried under my own name But You stepped into my darkness And called me out the grave No more running, no pretending No more fighting who I’ve been If You can make the dead start breathing You can start with me again [Breakdown] I don’t have to fix myself Don’t have to earn Your love All I need is to surrender To the mercy of Your blood [Final Chorus] This is my new beginning Not because I earned my way But because You took the beating And You paid for my mistakes I’m leaving all my past behind me I’m stepping into something true I found a new beginning When I gave my life to You [Outro] The past is dead, the grave is sealed I am forgiven, I am healed If you’re tired of running too There’s a new beginning waiting for you There's a new beginning waiting for you
