I Will Sing A New Song

I don't know how,
No, I don't know how.
I've never done this before,
At least until now.
Learned by heart
The hard and easy parts.
But I'm feeling it clearly,
the old song's grown weary.
I will sing a new song.
The old one's carried me this far and for so long,
But it's time to walk on,
Lifting up my voice and heart, with a new song.
How it grows out of the last echo,
A new song for new needs,
So I'll follow its lead.
Here I stand, all I truly am.
So I'll rise and lift up
This new curious cup.
I will sing a new song.
The old one's carried me this far and for so long,
But it's time to walk on,
Lifting up my voice and heart, with a new song.
In each life of worry and strive
Must be room to untangle,
And the singing of angels.
All that lasts and must surely pass
All that's common and holy,
All that's shot through with glory.
I will sing a new song.
The old one's carried me this far and for so long,
But it's time to walk on,
Lifting up my voice and heart, with a new song.
All that's breathless and beautiful,
All I've lost and I retrieved,
All the songs that I was born toSing a new song.
The old one's carried me this far and for so long,
But it's time to walk on.
Lifting up my voice and heart, with a new song.
I don't know how,
No, I don't know how.
I've never done this before,
At least until now.
