Lyrics

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

(chorus)
I am not who I was
I am being remade
I am new
I’m chosen and holy
And I’m dearly loved
I am new, 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

(chorus)

Too long I have lived
In the shadows of shame
Believing 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

(chorus)
I am not who I was
I am being remade
I am new
I’m chosen and holy
And I’m dearly loved
I am new, I am new

I am not who I was
I am being remade
I am new
Dead to the old man,
I’m coming alive
I am new, I am new
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…
