[Verse 1] Another year has slipped away Like footprints fading in the sand Some days I walked in borrowed light Some days I barely chose to stand I carry moments I regret And words I wish I’d left unsaid I bring them softly where You tread Where mercy meets the days I dread [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t claim that I was strong Or that I did my best I came because You asked my heart And help me through the rest [Chorus] So I begin again with You At the place where hope is found Where every sin and sorrow Was gently laid down I turn my heart, I lift my eyes To grace that never ends Because of Your Atonement I can begin again [Verse 2] I don’t need all my plans laid out Or every weakness understood I only ask for changed desires And strength to choose the good Teach me to step a little softer To listen more than I defend To let Your love keep shaping me Not just once, but to the end [Pre-Chorus] I lay my will upon Your path My pride, my fear, my shame Trusting You to heal my heart And help me change [Chorus] So I begin again with You Where forgiveness meets my need Where broken hearts are patiently Restored, rebuilt, and freed I don’t ask for perfect days Just grace to rise and then Because of Your Atonement I can begin again [Bridge] You don’t measure me by years Or all the times I failed You see the turning of my soul When I choose You again Each quiet prayer, each humble step Is noticed by Your love You make this year a sacred road That I don’t walk alone [Chorus] So I begin again with You At the foot of Calvary Where mercy paid the heavy price For every piece of me I step into this unknown year With faith that doesn’t bend Because of Your Atonement I now begin again [Outro] A softer heart A faithful turn I now begin again ...With You
