Who I Was
Lyrics
Verse 1
They told me two lives lived inside me
Locked in an endless war
One would grow a little stronger
If I fed it more and more
But then I opened the Scriptures
And saw what Heaven said
Who I was in Adam
Was crucified and dead
Pre-Chorus
The cross was not a bandage
It was not a compromise
It ended one creation
And raised another life
Chorus
Who I was is gone
Christ has made me new
I'm not dragging yesterday
Into everything I do
Sin will never tell me
Who I really am
I'm alive because of Jesus
Not because of who I've been
Verse 2
Temptation still may whisper
But it does not wear my name
The battle is not over
Yet the Master broke my chains
I'm not fighting for identity
I've already been made new
Now I walk from resurrection
Toward a life that's true
Pre-Chorus
I'm not trying to become
The child He wants me to be
I'm living from the life
He's already given me
Chorus
Who I was is gone
Christ has made me new
I'm not dragging yesterday
Into everything I do
Sin will never tell me
Who I really am
I'm alive because of Jesus
Not because of who I've been
Bridge
No patch upon the old cloth
No new wine poured inside
He did not save the old creation
He raised me into life
The Spirit now is living
Within this heart made new
The cross did not improve me
It has made all things new
I will not answer
To a name He has laid to rest
I belong to Jesus
And His life is now my best
Final Chorus
Who I was is gone
Christ has made me new
I will stand in what is finished
And believe what He said is true
He has called me righteous
He has called me His
Every step I take from here
Begins with what He says
Outro
The grave is empty
The old is gone
I'm walking in the life
Christ has already won
Yes... Christ has already won
