My New Life

[Introduction]
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away and new things have come [2 Corinthians 5:17]

[Verse 1]
I was struck in the face by lightning and fire
It was the loving grace of Christ the Messiah
He said, Trust Me Tim, repent your lust and sin
Otherwise be sucked up in a gust of wind
But God I’m evil, I've been a greedy traitor
An awful weasel, weaker than a feeble raver
I can’t reach You, I really need a Savior
Just believe in Jesus, He’s the Mediator
You mean it’s that simple? I’m obviously not worthy
Relax, Brindle, it’s gotta just be God’s mercy
I was a hopeless troll, but the Lord’s amazing
Must of been a chosen soul before creation
So I humbled myself before the Lord
And I was promised an ensured reward
Plus in heaven, I’ll receive my bonus portion
I needed a Father, I was a homeless orphan
So I’ve been adopted through the doctrine of election
I’m washed through confession, I was lost in depression
I’ve been saved from hell, so I praise and yell
Yo His grace is swell, I can’t wait to tell
I’ve been born again with immortal men
I was torn in sin and it thorned my skin
But Christ violently died for me
I was blind but with His shine I can finally see

[Hook 1]
I have a new life, this is my new life
I was in true strife before I knew Christ
This is my new life, I have a new life
Praise God for my new life

[Chorus]
I’m just a baby Christian, this miracle’s new to me
I’m still trying to hit my spiritual puberty
Christ claimed all my fails as His loss
He took my sins and nailed em on the cross
I’m a child of God, He bought my soul in advance
Christ is risen, I felt the holes in His hands
I love my life, but now I see it’s His
My soul’s been resurrected like Jesus is

[Hook 2]
I have a new life, this is my new life
I was in true strife before I knew Christ
This is my new life, I have a new life
I was in true strife, strife

[Verse 2]
I used to live everyday like it was my last
Smoking blunts and hash, but the drugs went fast
The buzz would pass, every night, drink and vomit
Wake up hungover, scrub the sink with Comet
Life was just ups and downs and highs and lows
I lived off the high supplied by violent flows
There was no decency or peace in me
Only deceit and grief, I’d frequently fiend for weed
But I been rescued from death dude
Now I look in the mirror and say, God blessed you
I used to walk around, quite angry
But Christ claimed me from the lost and found
He cured depression, healed my heart decay
Now I start my day with a harp to play
I was far away, a starving slave
I’m now a part of His large buffet with chardonnay
The woman that I loved witnessed to me
Life changed significantly, as a Christian I’m free
Now I use this special gift to emcee
To try to catch other lost fish in the sea
I have eternal life, I escaped God’s wrath
Tried to count my blessings, but I lost track
I was rude, blasphemous, but Jesus forgives
I found true happiness and a reason to live

[Hook 3]
This is my new life, I have a new life
I was in true strife before I knew Christ
This is my new life, I have a new life
I was in true strife before I knew Christ

[Chorus]
I’m just a baby Christian, this miracle’s new to me
I’m still trying to hit my spiritual puberty
Christ claimed all my fails as His loss
He took my sins and nailed em on the cross
I’m a child of God, He bought my soul in advance
Christ is risen, I felt the holes in His hands
I love my life, but now I see it’s His
My soul’s been resurrected like Jesus is

[Hook 4]
This is my new life, I have a new life
Praise God for my new life, yeah
This is my new life through Christ
New life through Christ, new life through Christ
This is my new life, this is my new life
Bless the Lord for my new life, yeah
This is my new life, I have a new life
I was in true strife before I knew Christ
