Palm Sunday '23
Song: Start Over
Artist: FLAME feat. NF
This week I will be busy spending quality time with family and finding time to study the final week of the Savior's mortality. So here, I will be sharing one, beautiful, uplifting song about Jesus Christ each day leading up to Easter. As I do so, I pray for an extra measure of peace and hope in my life. I had another one of "those" nights last night where I felt the darkness surround me and threaten to swallow me whole. I woke up early this morning to find the sun shining through my window and bringing with it the hope and light of Christ. As I celebrate His life this week, I pray to always see the light even during the dark moments. π
This song is my new ANTHEM!! πππ I promise this is the last NF song you'll hear from me for a while π (even though this is technically not his song, he's just the feature). Regardless, the message is incredible. It's the re-set I need to focus on in my life that I feel has all been one, massive disappointment. The message and lyrics feel so applicable for me and where I'm at. What is it about NF being in a song that makes the whole thing one giant highlight!? Every word is meaningful and purposeful. Hallelujah for Jesus Christ and the gift He has given me! The gift of "starting over." π
"Everybody's got a blank page, a story they're writing today, a wall that they're climbing. You can carry the past on your shoulders, or you could START OVER. Regrets, no matter what you've gone through, Jesus, He gave it all to save you. He carried the cross on His shoulders, so you could START OVER."
Everybody's got a blank page
A story they're writing today
A wall that they're climbing
You can carry the past on your shoulders
Or you could start over
Regrets, no matter what you've gone through
Jesus, He gave it all to save you
He carried the cross on His shoulders
So you could start over
Don't let your heart be troubled
Don't be afraid
To the broken-hearted that wished that they'd
Never been born, never been torn, never sinned, never disobeyed
I know you think there's no hope (no), but that ain't true, Jesus saves!
I know you feelin' regret
(Like I) brought this all on myself
(Like I) messed it up big time, and this time I don't deserve God's help
(Thinking) how can God forgive me after knowin' what I did (can He?)
After knowin' that I hid from Him, and I stayed away and backslid (listen)
Jesus came for the sick (so true)
Jesus came for the weak (amen)
Jesus came to give good news and have set the captives free (amen) (listen)
Jesus came for the poor (amen)
Jesus came with the keys (amen)
Jesus came to remove the chains so the prisoners are released (amen)
Everybody's got a blank page
A story they're writing today
A wall that they're climbing
You can carry the past on your shoulders
Or you could start over
Regrets, no matter what you've gone through
Jesus, He gave it all to save you
He carried the cross on His shoulders
So you could start over
See, His love is deeper than the ocean floor
Run to His arms like an open door
God the Father sent the Son
So men can come and be free and ain't gotta run no more (that's what He said)
Come to me, all who are weary; with heavy burdens, I'll give you rest
Separated you from your sin, as far as the east is from the west (He said)
Thrown in the sea of forgetfulness
What sin? What offense?
And when them waves come crashing in, I'll calm the winds in your defense (that's what He said)
So, whatever it is that you've done
He put that punishment on His Son (His Son)
You'll never come under His condemnation conquer sin and Satan, and his accusations
So, dry your eyes, lift up your head
Hallelujah! God is not dead! (amen)
Plus He gave us His peace (His peace), and He took our guilt on the cross instead
Took our place and now we embrace
A clean slate with the eyes of faith
We know unfailing love, unfailing love, it's not too late to start over
Everybody's got a blank page
A story they're writing today
A wall that they're climbing
You can carry the past on your shoulders
Or you could start over
Regrets, no matter what you gone through
Jesus, He gave it all to save you
He carried the cross on His shoulders
So you could start over
How can you seek to follow Jesus Christ each day? - By studying, pondering and applying His teachings in my own day to day life.
