A new journey stretches out like the sea
Wooing, calling, beseeching me
Uncharted, glorious & beauties to behold
Jesus stands there with joy strong and bold
His whole being full of patience divine
Calling out to this heart of mine
Ah, with eyes of love and a smile
With grace, He has been waiting awhile
He takes my hand and bids me arise
Out of The ashes and tears I cried
Wooing, touching the depths of me
Whispering come, whispering believe
Old disappointments fade away
To embrace a glorious new day
My aches, pains… my sins He does bear
Swallowed up by His tender care
All shed in the transforming light of Him
For He is NOW and that is then
The past irrelevant to destination new
I drown in beauty of His Heart so true
For Him, ah for Him and Him alone
I forsake the past as my home
Hand in hand with courage infused
With blood of Him who was bruised
Nothing now left to hold me back
Ah, His stripes consume my lack
My heart upon a new path to embrace
Unfolding in lights of glory and grace
Like a dove He flutters, He attends
With olive branch His peace descends
Wings a covering, His Presence to abide
In the Secret Place at His side
Ah, His wait is over, for I arise
Left behind doubts, fears, the tears i cried
All forsaken for Him set before my eyes
We journey Heart in Heart, My Savior and I
