The song, All Things New, keeps running through my mind, so I thought I would share it with you all.  As I went to look for it on Youtube—I found the backstory of this song–

From Mike Weaver: “We wrote the song ‘All Things New’ as a prayer over my dad as he was dealing with pulmonary fibrosis. My mom said he would listen to the demo of it over and over again. Little did I know that would be the last song I wrote that my dad would get to hear…this side of heaven. I believe the moment he took he last breath here, was just the beginning of how real the meaning of this song is for him now in the very presence of Jesus. Because of what Jesus has done for us on the cross…our broken places are not the defining words spoken over us. Our brokenness is an incredible opportunity for the redeeming work of Jesus to be shown in our lives. So, even in the darkest moment, we can say in faith…from the ashes, from the dust, I will rise up because of Jesus who makes all things new.”

I hope this song encourages somebody today!!

[Lyrics] All Things – Big Daddy Weave:

I’ve heard You can take what’s broken and make it whole again

Well, here’s the pieces of my heart, what can You do with them?

 ‘Cause I can’t hold them all together anymore

So I let them fall surrendered to the floor

 You make all things new

 You make all things new

God of mercy and love

Do what only You can do and make all things new

 Only You can bring such beauty from the depths of all my pain

 Only You can take this shattered heart and make it beat again

 Oh, You hold us all together in Your hands

 I surrender all I have and all I am

 You make all things new

 You make all things new

 God of mercy and love

Do what only You can do and make all things new

From the ashes, from the dust I will rise up, rise up

Out of darkness into the light I will rise up, rise up

 From the ashes, from the dust I will rise up, rise up

 Out of darkness into the light I will rise up, rise up

 You make all things new

You make all things new

 God of mercy and love

 Do what only You can do and make all things

 All things,

 You make all things new
