Dead Reckoning

Based on Romans 6:11, Galatians 2:20

It's a new day at last
But you're sinking so fast
If left up to your head
You'd remember the past
But a new day has come
And new life has begun
Let the old pass away
Reconsider it done

There's got to be a reckoning
When you feel the Spirit beckoning

It's a dead reckoning
Trade the old for the new
It's a dead reckoning
Learn to die daily
Till the new life comes through
It's a dead reckoning

You've got nothing to lose
But you do have to choose
When the Spirit says yes
But the flesh will refuse
And although you feel odd
There are many who trod
Till they're dead to the world
But alive unto God

Some still believe it can't be done
To the steady the race is still won

It's a dead reckoning
Trade the old for the new
It's a dead reckoning
Learn to die daily
Till the new life comes through
It's a dead reckoning

And the battle is already through
And it's hard to believe but it's true
On a hill long ago
Where the blood runs below
Died a King, two thieves, and you

It's a dead reckoning
Trade the old for the new, oh!
It's a dead reckoning
Learn to die daily
Till the new life comes through
It's a dead reckoning
