Start Over

C                                Am
Everybody’s got a blank page
                                  F
A story they’re writing today
A wall that they’re climbing
C                            
You can carry the past on your 
                           G
shoulders
                          C Am
Or you can start over
Regrets, no matter what you've gone 
through
F                                C
Jesus, He gave it all to save you
He carried the cross on His 
                       G
shoulders
                 C      Am      G
So you can start over

Am
Don’t let your heart be troubled
Don’t be afraid
F
To the broken-hearted that wished 
that they’d
Am
Never been born, never been torn, 
never sinned, never disobeyed
F
I know you think there’s no hope, 
but that
                          Am
ain’t true, Jesus saves!

I know you feelin’ regret
(Like I) brought this all on myself
         F
(Like I) messed it up big time, and 
this time I don’t deserve God’s help
 Am
(Thinking) how can God forgive me 
after knowin’ what I did (can He?)
     F
After knowin’ that I hid from Him, 
and I stayed away and backslid 
(listen)
Am
Jesus came for the sick (so true)
Jesus came for the weak (amen)

F
Jesus came to give good news and 
have set the captives free (amen)
Am
Jesus came for the poor (amen)
Jesus came with the keys (amen)
C
Jesus came to remove the chains so 
the prisoners are released (amen)

[Chorus]
Am
See, His love is deeper than the 
ocean floor
Run to His arms like an open door
F
God the Father sent the Son
So men can come and be free and 
ain’t gotta run no more (that's what
 He said)
Am
Come to me, all who are weary; with 
heavy burdens, I’ll give you rest
F
Separated you from your sin, as far 
as the east is from the west (He 
said)
Am
Thrown in the sea of forgetfulness
What sin? What offense?
                   F
And when them waves come crashing 
in, I’ll calm the winds in your 
defense (that's what He said)
Am
So, whatever it is that you’ve done
He put that punishment on His Son
         F
You’ll never come under His 
condemnation conquer sin and Satan, 
and his accusations
Am
So, dry your eyes, lift up your head
Hallelujah! God is not dead!
F
Plus He gave us His peace, and He 
took our guilt on the cross instead
Am
Took our place and now we embrace
A clean slate with the eyes of faith
C
We know unfailing love, unfailing 
love, it’s not too late, start over

[Chorus]
