New Thing
New Thing
Lori Harris, 2005
Holy spark flew through the night
Caught my heart and spread the light
And a wildfire blazed, consuming me
What a new thing
Stoke the fire burn, burn
Flames dance and they turn, uncontrollable
This is how to live
What a new thing
That was years ago
Winds of change mellow
Embers glow but still I know
How it felt to burn
Oh how I want to burn
Do a new thing I pray
Fan the old flame I say
And speak your everlasting word over me
Oh that original spark
Make it dance in my heart
Breathe your everlasting life over me
Do a new thing
Drawn to wander prone to roam
I left your camp for a lonely road
And my paths cross leaving the trail home cold
Wanting a new thing
Still you flicker on the wind
Beckon me to rebegin
Abandon myself love again
To want a new thing
My spirit's willing but my flesh is weak
Skin's strong enough to keep me from
Admitting need
I'm so thirsty
chorus
New wine needs new wine skin
There's a river rushing down rushing in
And the patch pulls away from what's already been
During a new thing
I'm gonna toss the armor holding me
The skin of how I act the way I ought to be
'Cause there are giants to fight
And I've got to be free
Because the Spirit of the Lord is upon me
Doing a new thing
Your Spirit blazes down
Quenching fire tumbling down
And I need new skin for what you pour in
As your glory fills
Your Spirit blazes down
Quenching fire tumbling down
And I need new skin
As your glory fills the temple
chorus
