Fresh Start Lyrics

Yo, it's me, I'm in a car
Don't have service
Fresh start
Love it
Just think raw, acoustic, heartfelt honesty
Check it
It's like
It's like
The way You love me, it's so amazing
Even when I walk away from You (I walk away from You)
And I'm a risk that You are taking
Now Your mercy's helping me see the truth (helping me see the truth)
I can't seem to run far enough to escape Your love
I'm ready for a fresh start
Take my heart
Do whatever You gotta do, to get through
And I'm begging for a clean slate, this day
Wash me in amazing grace
Wash it all away
In the moment I feel broken
I'm convicted, but then I'm slippin' back (I keep slippin', yeah)
Perfection and performance
It's a vicious cycle, got me trapped (it's got me trapped), whoa
I can't seem to run far enough to escape Your grace
I'm ready for a fresh start
Take my heart
Do whatever You gotta do, to get through
And I'm begging for a clean slate, this day
Wash me in amazing grace
Wash it all away
I'm ready for a fresh start, whoa
You're givin' me a fresh start, whoa
Hey, I can't believe that You're not givin' up on me
I can't believe that Your mind isn't changin'
Even when I'm caught up in the world and I'm stumblin'
You never treat me how I know I am deservin'
I hear You whisper that I'm chosen
I feel You fixin' everything in me that's broken
And You're so patient and gentle with my heart
Unbelievable mercy givin' me a fresh start
I can't seem to run far enough to escape Your grace
I'm ready for a fresh start
Take my heart
Do whatever You gotta do (do whatever), to get through (do whatever)
And I'm begging for a clean slate, this day
Wash me in amazing grace
Wash it all away
I'm ready for a fresh start, whoa (You're givin' me a, You're givin' me a fresh start)
You're givin' me a fresh start, whoa
(You're givin' me, You're givin' me a fresh start)
Fresh start, whoa (You're givin' me a, You're givin' me a fresh start)
You're givin' me a fresh start, whoa
(You're givin' me a fresh start)

The music of Ryan Stevenson blends influences from soul, pop, and some of the great guitarists to create engaging acoustic guitar driven melodies. Embracing the idea that some of the most profound moments of worship emerge not from mountain-top experiences but from difficult, perhaps even catastrophic circumstance gives Ryan’s lyrics a poetic vulnerability reflecting honestly on the difficulties everyone faces.

At the age of 18, his youth pastor surprised him by placing a guitar in his hands, stating, "I felt like the Lord was telling me to buy this for you" Ryan matured his musical gifts by playing at youth groups, summer camps and mission trips. While attending Northwest Christian College in Eugene, Oregon, Ryan formed an acoustic duo with fellow Christian artist Paul Wright and played in local coffee houses. After adding a full band to the mix, they played throughout the northwest, packing venues and opening for renowned Christian artists. When Wright pursued his solo career, Ryan worked with him as a co-writer, singer, and guitarist on each of Wrights mainstream releases.

Ryan’s own music reflects the wealth of experience garnered from his time with these endeavors. In 2003, Stevenson moved to Boise, Idaho. He continued writing songs, leading worship, and performing in small venues, all while working as a front line paramedic. Wanting to honestly and vulnerably communicate through his recording and his live performance the grace and love that guides him through his own trials, Ryan Stevenson writes with a musical maturity beyond his years and a spiritual sensitivity that easily draws people into the musical message.
