Steven Curtis Chapman "All Things New"

Last fall I got to attend one of the five best concerts I've ever been to in my life. The headliner was Steven Curtis Chapman with Casting Crowns and Chris Tomlin as the opening acts. It was truly an incredible concert, but more than that it was an amazing night of worship. Among the spectacular songs that night was this one by SCC. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, Paul states, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

This song tells the Redemption story as good as any other out there. The Creation. The Fall of Man. The Salvation/New Life through Christ. This songs is a beautiful picture of what my Heavenly Father has done for me and anyone that would "just believe." Thank you SCC for such a great song.

Here are the lyrics to the song:

You spoke and made the sunrise, to light up the very first day
You breathed across the water, and started the very first wave
It was You
You introduced Your glory, to every living creature on earth
And they started singing, the first song to ever be heard
They sang for You

You make all things new
You make all things new

Then the world was broken, fallen and battered and scarred
You took the hopeless, the life, wasted, ruined and marred
And made it new

You make all things new
You make all things new
You redeem and You transform
You renew and You restore
You make all things new
You make all things new
And forever we will watch and worship You

You turn winter into spring
You take every living thing
And You breathe Your breath of life into it over and over again

You made the sunrise, day after day after day
But there's a morning coming, when old things will all pass away
And everyone will see

You make all things new
You make all things new
Come redeem and come transform
Come renew and come restore
You make all things new
You make all things new
And forever we will watch and worship You

Now and forever You are making all things new
You're making all things new
