Word Smith (On Hold)

Song: Start Over

"Start Over" FLAME (feat. NF)

Everybody’s got a blank page

A story they’re writing today

A wall that they’re climbing

You can carry the past on your shoulders
Or you can start over

Regrets, no matter what you've gone through

Jesus, He gave it all to save you

He carried the cross on His shoulders

So you can start over

Don’t let your heart be troubled

Don’t be afraid

To the broken-hearted that wished that they’d

Never been born, never been torn, never sinned, never disobeyed

I know you think there’s no hope, but that ain’t true, Jesus saves!

I know you feelin’ regret

(Like I) brought this all on myself

(Like I) messed it up big time, and this time I don’t deserve God’s help

(Thinking) how can God forgive me after knowin’ what I did (can He?)

After knowin’ that I hid from Him, and I stayed away and backslid (listen)

Jesus came for the sick (so true)

Jesus came for the weak (amen)

Jesus came to give good news and to set the captives free (amen)

Jesus came for the poor (amen)

Jesus came with the keys (amen)

Jesus came to remove the chains so the prisoners are released (amen)

See, His love is deeper than the ocean floor

Run to His arms like an open door

God the Father sent the Son
So men can come and be free and ain’t gotta run no more (that's what He said)

Come to me, all who are weary; with heavy burdens, I’ll give you rest

Separated you from your sin, as far as the east is from the west (He said)

Thrown in the sea of forgetfulness

What sin? What offense?

And when them waves come crashing in, I’ll calm the winds in your defense (that's what He said)

So, whatever it is that you’ve done

He put that punishment on His Son

You’ll never come under His condemnation conquer sin and Satan, and his accusations

So, dry your eyes, lift up your head

Hallelujah! God is not dead!

Plus He gave us His peace, and He took our guilt on the cross instead

Took our place and now we embrace

A clean slate with the eyes of faith

We know unfailing love, unfailing love, it’s not too late, start over
