New Creation
Posted: Sat Dec 24, 2011 8:33 pm
Holding hands but you’re breaking at the seams
Had to leave your desires and your future dreams
Texting your wife, pretending to be at work
When you lost your job; trying to ignore the hurt
You’re broke; not able to provide for your family
Can’t give them what they want, can’t give them nothing fancy
Hairspray and safety pins holding you together
You don’t like what’s inside, don’t want feel like this forever
Got kicked out of school, on the fast track to nowhere
Out on the streets, it’s too much for you to bear
Thought you had it all when you were younger
Thought money was enough, but now love is what you hunger
Messed up badly, can’t find your way back
Got lost on the way, fell off the track
Can’t see a way forward, got stuck in a hole
Not about the outside, but your spiritual soul
Jesus died on a cross, not to make things trouble-free
But to take away the burden of sin, he paid the fee
Died brutally and painfully, for you and for me
Suddenly things change; there is someone new you can be
You’re no longer stuck because you’re a new creation
Because you’ve got a relationship with God and your salvation
Even if things are hard, you’ve got another life promised
One given through grace, not because you deserve it
Got a second chance, so make the most of it
Pray the prayer and let him pull you out your pit
Had to leave your desires and your future dreams
Texting your wife, pretending to be at work
When you lost your job; trying to ignore the hurt
You’re broke; not able to provide for your family
Can’t give them what they want, can’t give them nothing fancy
Hairspray and safety pins holding you together
You don’t like what’s inside, don’t want feel like this forever
Got kicked out of school, on the fast track to nowhere
Out on the streets, it’s too much for you to bear
Thought you had it all when you were younger
Thought money was enough, but now love is what you hunger
Messed up badly, can’t find your way back
Got lost on the way, fell off the track
Can’t see a way forward, got stuck in a hole
Not about the outside, but your spiritual soul
Jesus died on a cross, not to make things trouble-free
But to take away the burden of sin, he paid the fee
Died brutally and painfully, for you and for me
Suddenly things change; there is someone new you can be
You’re no longer stuck because you’re a new creation
Because you’ve got a relationship with God and your salvation
