You spoke and made the sun rise
To light up the very first day
You breathed across the water
And started the very first wave
It was you
You introduced your glory
To every living creature on earth
And they started singing
The first song to ever be heard
They sang for you

You make all things new
You make all things new

Then the world was broken
Fallen and battered and scarred
You took the hopeless
The life wasted, ruined and marred
And made it new

You make all things new
You make all things new
You redeem and You transform
You renew and You restore
You make all things new
You make all things new
And forever we will watch and worship You

You turn winter into spring
You take every living thing
And You breathe the breath of life into it
Over and over again

You made the sunrise
Day after day after day
But there’s a morning coming
When old things will all pass away
And everyone will see

You make all things new
You make all things new
Come redeem and come transform
Come renew and restore
You make all things new
You make all things new
And forever we will watch and worship You
Now and forever you are making all things new

You’re making all things new
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Behind the Song:
'For this song, it took about fifteen different writings for me to finally settle on the one that ended up on the album. I kind of get bad about that when a song really really matters and the theme is so important to the record. Obviously this song encapsulates the whole theme of the record, the whole idea of God creating, continuing to re-create and make all things new for all of eternity. Revelation 21 was the inspiration for this song, with the verse that says “Behold, the One seated on the throne says, ‘behold I make all things new.’” So my hope is this song really encourages people with this message and truth that God really is committed to make all things new.' - Steven Curtis Chapman
