New creation They told me to believe in a God I cannot see You need to give your life, but what’s in it for me? They listed off all my sins and my depravity I want to live my own way, why repent and obey? But is this nihilistic view truly the answer? How can I go on rejecting my Creator? Why do I not feel fulfilled by my self-made purpose? Why do I feel like this life isn’t worth it? Worldly distractions and instant gratification This is all so bleak if there is nothing beyond creation Just taking a look at my reflection now can I see my sin-rotten core Abba! Father! I can’t handle this turmoil anymore! God are you out there? God are you out there listening to me? Taking a look at my reflection now can I see my sin-rotten core Abba! Father! I can’t handle this turmoil anymore! Oh wretched man I am Who’ll save me from this death? And ransom me from all my debt? All thanks be to God The Lord and Saviour Christ Who made me a new creation Appointed me to life! I'm such a wretched one, treacherous scum for the things I've done God should have left me for dead but instead, He sent us His Son Forget the walking dead, my soul was dead, falling to eternal death Anything I touched would melt, felt I was already in hell, a burning mess Too scared to lay myself to rest, so I walked with a blade lest anyone test In the hope my opponent would take a knife or bullet and put it right into my chest Then I got struck with a double-edged blade that came right down from heaven The Spirit living in the Word now lives in me, He pushed out all the venom This can't be purchased, I don't deserve this, I was at the front of the rebellion Through Christ I'm a new creation, now I just wanna reach all nations telling them I was the weakest but now I'm powerful in Jesus, He's what it's all about So we shine His light on any demon fiend to reveal them then start calling them out They’re shuddering under His thunder governing, we're living in the book of Revelation No fear for us, we’re covered by the blood New creation generation! Oh wretched man I am Who’ll save me from this death? And ransom me from all my debt? All thanks be to God The Lord and Savior Christ Who made me a new creation Appointed me to life! Appointed me to life Predestined us to life Ordained to eternal life He’s chosen us for life You pulled my corpse from out the bottom of the sea You dragged me up to shore and breathed life so I could believe Even though I hated You with all of my being You changed my heart so I could love You, why choose me? I’m not worthy of Your love Yet You gave me everything! I was blind to believe, God gave me eyes to see I will lay down my life, just as He did for me He forgave all my sins and cured my depravity He put His Spirit in me to cause me to obey That nihilistic view was not the answer! For I was called into the arms of my Creator! Now I see that my life has a purpose To the praise of the glory of His grace was I chosen! Appointed me to life
