I Have Been Made New

Death to the old self

                                            I have been made new

                                             Doing nothing I use to do

                                           Old things have passed away 

                                      Wrong things I have done I do no more

                                        Not ashamed I am not the same

                                           Now called by a new name

                                               Met a new man

                                          He shows me how to stand

                                            My life now in his hand

                                          For me he has another plan

                                        When I am sad he makes me glad

                                          The best friend I have ever had

                                                He teaches me everything

                                       Makes me feel like a new human being

                                               My eyes are open now I see

                                           Since he came to live inside of me

                                            Shows me things I've never seen

                                       Makes me feel like a new human being

                                                 I am being perfected

                                            Oh in ways I never expected

                                                  I am now courageous

                                               Learning from him in stages

                                                  I know now with out him 

                                                Never would I have made it
