i am new

now i won't deny

the worst you could say about me

but i'm not defined

by mistakes that i've made

because god says of me

i am not who i was

i am being remade

i am new

i am chosen and holy

and i'm dearly loved

i am new

who i thought i was

and who i thought i had to be

i had to give them both up

cause neither were willing

to ever believe

i am not who i was

i am being remade

i am new

i am chosen and holy

and i'm dearly loved

i am new

too long i have lived

in the shadows of shame

believing that there

was no way i could change

but the one who is making everything new

doesn't see me the way that i do

he doesn't see me the way that i do

i am not who i was

i am being remade

i am new

i am chosen and holy

and i'm dearly loved

i am new

i am not who i was

i am being remade i am new

dead to the old man

i'm coming alive

i am new

forgiven beloved

hidden in christ

made in the image of the giver of life

righteous and holy

reborn and remade

accepted and worthy

this is our new name

this is who we are now.
