The old me is gone, I left him in a watery grave
A vile man was he, full of murder and deceit, a slave
And behold the new has come, what I once was
Has been swept away
A new creation you've made me
Not by works or by deeds, but grace
It's no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me
Just as you gave your life, I give myself to thee
And the wars I now wage, are not of flesh and blood
For I wield a blade of spirit, and I lift a shield of faith
And this life I will not love so as to
Shrink back from the grave
It's no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me
Just as you gave your life, I give myself to thee
In you I live, in you I breathe, in you I trust
To sustain me
Through thick and thin, through everything
You tell me son, I'll never leave
