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
