The Journey To a New You

Stuck in between what was, what is and what may come to be
How does one discover what is their true journey?

God will come into your life and remind you of your past
God will come into your life when you feel you're on your last
Alone, stressed, depressed or suffering from spiritual amnesia too
God will come into your life and lead you to a new you

The journey through life has the ability to knock out and wear you down
The journey may also cause you to hesitate, halter, falter or frown
But God will give you a clear view of all that you've gone through
So that you can now comprehend what He desires you to do

You need to revisit the pain and hurt from long ago
You need to face up to your past and then from it grow
Don't allow others to mitigate and minimize your past
Ignore the choir of critics who tell you you're acting like an ass
And hold those accountable for their bad acts as well
For it's your story, your song and your narrative to tell

Never forget how God has always had your back
When you were constantly under pressure and under attack
Never forget how God has always walked by your side
And those times you only saw one set of footprints on His back you did ride
You're not journeying to God for God is journeying with you
He has always been there, omnipresent and sure-footed too
Journeying with God from here to eternity
Journeying with God towards your true destiny

To journey to a new you, you need to understand
What was, what is and what is coming is all part of God's plan
No longer are you lost, no longer will you be stressed
For God is still at work and it's you He wants to bless
So don't run from your past wipe away your tears and get up
God is offering you a new you and a full spiritual cup

So journey through your past now facing it head on
Journey through your past and looking towards your horizon
Journeying with God so that you can now clearly see
The new you that the Lord God desires you to be
