Lord, this load is heavy
Where are you leading us now?
Kindly You ask us to follow
And blindly we do it somehow

Chorus
Come oh come and make us new
We are broken, lost, confused
Come, oh come, and make us new
Take the hurt
Take the pain
Make us new again

Have You seen these battle scars?
Holes where hearts and souls once beat
We have been stained by the journey
Still we lay at your feet

Chorus

Bridge

Take all the sadness the blackness and sorrow (Take it all)
Take all the fear and the dread from tomorrow (From tomorrow)
Take all the sickness and suffering and cancer (Oh)
Take disappointments and prayers that aren’t answered (Oh)
Take all the sadness the blackness and sorrow (You, only You)
Take all the fear and the dread from tomorrow (Save us)
Take all the sickness and suffering and cancer (Make us new)
Take disappointments and prayers that aren’t answered (Oh)

Chorus 2
Come, oh come, and make us new
Great Redeemer, Living Truth
Come oh come and make us new
You’re the Healer
The Forgiver
Great Redeemer
Come make us new
