Greener Pastures
(verse 1)
I stand on the brink of something new,
Outside the realm of all I know,
Once I take this step I can’t turn back,
And I don’t know where this road goes.
You go before and ask me to follow,
But all that’s familiar lies behind,
This step of faith means letting go,
Walking by faith and not by sight.
(chorus)
See, You are doing a new thing,
You take my hand and lead me on,
I must let go of what I know,
Trust in what I cannot see,
You lead me to greener pastures.
(verse 2)
I will follow You if I must go alone,
Though these goodbyes are hard to say.
I know You’re always with me now,
And that You’ll provide day by day.
This place is unknown to me,
But I know You have a bigger plan,
And though all I hold dear lies behind me now,
I surrender it all into Your hands.
(chorus)
See, You are doing a new thing,
You take my hand and lead me on,
I must let go of what I know,
Trust in what I cannot see,
Though this is hard for me to bear,
I know Your hands are holding me.
You lead me to greener pastures.
(bridge)
And someday, You’ll lead me to my home,
On that day, I know I’ll have never walked alone.
And someday, goodbyes will never be,
On that day, the old will pass away,
Our tears and our pain will be overcome,
For see You make all things new.
And we will see…
(chorus)
See, You are doing a new thing,
You’ll take my hand and lead me home,
And on that day I will finally know,
My faith I’ll finally see,
We’ll be completely free.
I know Your hands are holding me.
You’ll lead me to greener pastures.

I was gone for a while and I missed this post! I am so glad I saw it this morning, though. What beautiful lyrics, Rachel. I am going to put them up on a sticky note on my computer. They are especially close to my heart now as we prepare to move...
