lyrics

SURPRISE

A fresh rain drops off the old leaves
A dark night ends with a soft breeze
And You surprise me

The storm rolls, but in defiance a child sings
The cold, hard ground gives way to a green spring
And You surprise me

I don’t deserve You
I could not earn anything You give
To think that You love me when I was Your enemy
And gave Your life that I might live

A broken boy falls for a sweet girl
She smiles back and changes his whole world
And You surprise me

Lives change, ‘cause You make a fool speak
With bloody hands, You build a kingdom of great peace
And You amaze me

(CHORUS)

I am making all things new
All that’s broken and sad will come untrue
I am changing even You
I am making all things new

Repeat , then (CHORUS)
