Refrain Remember not the things of the past; now I do something new, do you not see it? Now I do something new, says the Lord. 1. In our distress God has grasped us by the hand, opened a path in the sea, and we shall pass over, we shall pass over, free at last. 2. In our parched land of hypocrisy and hate, God makes a river spring forth, a river of mercy, truth and compassion; come and drink. 3. And who among us is sinless in God's sight? Then who will cast the first stone, when he who was sinless carried our failings to the cross? 4. Pressing ahead, letting go what lies behind, may we be found in the Lord, and sharing his dying, share in his rising from the dead.
