A New Life

Lord I’m ready for a new life to begin,
I’m tired of the old life for it’s so filled with sin.
I want to rid my guilt and shame, my selfishness and pride,
Surrender everything to You and let You be my guide.

I long for You to set me free from these heavy chains
Break them lose and calm my soul and take away my pains.
Please keep on reminding me that no matter what I face
You will always hold me close and all my fears erase.

Some days my old life will sneak back for Satan’s trying hard,
To pull me far away from You, so Jesus be my guard.
I know that You will never leave but sometimes I am weak
And I need You to cover me with strength week after week.

Please remind me Jesus at the start of each new day,
That you are there beside me and You’ll help me not stray.
Please show me how to my life, a life that’s pure and true,
Cause Lord I’m ready to begin a new life filled with You.

Each day is such a battle Lord
But I’ve no strength to fight.
I know that Satan’s hard at work
Pulling with all his might.
But Jesus You are all I need
So please help me get through.
Please fight this battle for me Lord
And bring me back to You.

I do not know who I am Lord,
I’m lost and so afraid.
Somehow I just stopped trusting you,
Now my life is what I made.
I long to know just who You made
Just who I’m suppose to be.
So please dear Jesus, please show me
The person that You see.

You are the Potter; I’m the clay
So mold my life for You.
Please dear Lord create in me
A heart that’s pure and true.
To live new life the old must die
So take that part I plea.
Give me new life and freedom Lord
So I’m free to be me.
