Brand New Start
Written by Douglas Moore

Date Written 11-9-05

VERSE 1:
I’m in another new situation,
Trying to solve a harder equation,
Looking for help in a solution key,
When will I learn that it’s inside me?

I’m following the barren highway,
Thought I’d try to do things all my own way,
Hit another bump it’s sending me for a loop,
I wonder why I haven’t blown a fuse?

CHORUS:
Why do I do?
When will I learn?
What should I say?
How can I turn?
What’s in my name?
What’s in my heart?
Jesus I call you,
Give me a start,
Lord I need a brand new start,

VERSE 2:
When will I stop trying to climb up the ladder,
Before the ladder is in its place,
When will I stop trying to float in a river,
On top of a granite stone,

Standing still but flying forward,
Lay on the brakes as I come to a corner,
Trying to turn but law keeps me rolling,
Into a bigger mess than before,

BRIDGE:
Lord I need a brand new start,
Lord I need a brand new heart,
Calling your number,
Trying not to wander,
But Lord I need a brand new start,
