Behold

She died today
We knew it was coming
Still that doesn’t make for an easier pain
Everyone prayed, but
nothing seemed to happen
I don’t understand why it turned out this way
So I stood by faith grieving and disillusioned
And I asked the Lord, “What do You have to say?”

And He said, “Behold, I do a new thing.
You’d better hold on because life’s gonna change.
You need to know, I’m all that matters.
It’s time to let go, nothing else stays the same.”

He left today
She didn’t see it coming
with bills left to pay and three kids to raise
He simply walked out and left her broken-hearted
I don’t understand
Life shouldn’t happen this way
She was left alone confused and frustrated
So I asked the Lord, “What do You have to say?”

And He said, “Behold, I do a new thing.
You’d better hold on because life’s gonna change.
You need to know, I’m all that matters.
It’s time to let go, nothing else stays the same.”

Death or destruction
divorce or despair
sooner or later
we all end up there
Expected or sudden
we experience loss
How long we linger
in pain is up to us
A new beginning
awaits us each day
Just ask the Lord
and again He will say

He'll say, “Behold, I do a new thing.
You’d better hold on because life’s gonna change.
You need to know, I’m all that matters.
It’s time to let go, nothing else stays the same.”

In life there’s one thing that’s for certain
We live in a world that won’t last
We’re all chasing the wind and shifting shadows
And God promises - this too will pass.
