Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
What was torn You mend again
You redesign the tattered thread by thread
You take the broken and destroyed
You rebuild, You make whole
Joy, begin to rise
Hope, begin to light the dark
Our God exchanges old for new
Dawn has conquered dark
Death has lost to life
And now we are exchanging old for new
With You we turn the night to dawn
In You, we walk in the impossible
We take our love into the world
Let our light shine, we let it burn
Joy, begin to rise
Hope, begin to light the dark
Our God exchanges old for new
Dawn has conquered dark
Death has lost to life
And now we are exchanging old for new
There's nothing that Your love won't do
There's not a mountain faith can't move
There's power in the blood
The power of the cross
There's nothing that Your love won't do
There's not a mountain faith can't move
There's power in the blood
The power of the cross
Joy, begin to rise
Hope, begin to light the dark
Our God exchanges old for new
Dawn has conquered dark
Death has lost to life
And now we are exchanging old for new
