To an aged man God spoke Words that sounded like a joke Soon his wife would bear a child A saying hard to reconcile So he asked, can this thing be Can a nation spring from me With a body grown so old In a word this man was told
CHORUS Your life begins with God Your love begins with God Your hopes and your dreams And your plans begin with God Your life begins with God Your love begins with God Your hopes and your dreams And your plans begin with God
From a valley full of bones To a man of God, well known Came a vision strange but true Mighty things the Lord would do He would breathe them back to life His command caused them to rise Like the nation He would raise To the glory of His praise
(Chorus)
I was standing on the edge of the world Hopelessly alone in the dark In the beginning all was empty and void In my mind, my soul, my heart of hearts The Creator came and moved in my life He spoke and turned my darkness to light Day by day He's rearranging my ways He's my Lord, my God, my King
To a leper on his face To a woman's dark disgrace To a prisoner's empty night To a blind man's quest for sight To a mother's boy lying dead To a beggar's plea for bread To a lame man's crippled bones To a stranger's journey home
