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’m 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’m being remade, I am NEW

I am chosen and holy and I’m dearly loved, I am NEW

I am NEW.

too long have I lived in the shadow of shame

believe 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’m 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…

I certainly feel new, I’m not afraid and every day has been overwhelmingly beautiful since I let go of myself
