New Creation Rising In You

I wrote this praise song, inspired by 2 Corinthians chapter 5. I hope it inspires and blesses you, as the message of hope and reconciliation in Christ Jesus inspires and blesses me.

Please share it with whomever you think needs inspiration and encouragement. Share it with the broken, the tired, the ones who lost their fire. Let them lift their eyes. Their help is here. Grace is stronger than their fear.

I designed the album art to reflect the recent liberation of 46 million Persian women from the bonds of religious persecution, subjugation and tyranny.

To God be all the glory.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I was the shadow in my own drama
No peace, only trauma
Heart like a room with a locked door
Hopes and dreams spread on the floor
You found me staring at the ceiling
Whispered my name in the quiet
Pulled all the pieces I was hiding
Held every shard to Your light

[Chorus]
You make all things new
Every crack
Every bruise
Every burned-out room
You breathe life into
The ashes
All the ruins I walked through
I am not my shame (I am held)
I am held
I am healed in Your perfect name
Jesus
I am new
New creation rising in You

[Verse 2]
Some days the memories still haunt me
Old ghosts knocking at my door
But You keep your hands cradled
Right where my fear outpours
You write Your promise on my heart
Stronger than the storms I feel
You say
“Child, I will not leave you
What I have spoken
I’ll fulfill” (hey)

[Chorus]
You make all things new (every scar)
Every scar
Every pain
Every occupied tomb
You breathe light into
What was dim
All the ruins I walked through
I’m not the voices in my head
I am not the words I never said
Jesus
I am new
New creation rising in You

[Bridge]
To the broken
To the tired
To the one who lost their fire
Lift your eyes
Your Help is here
Grace is stronger than your fear
To the doubting
To the hurting
To the one who thinks they’re worthless
Hear Him say
“I died for you
Walk out of your grave
Be new” (oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
You make all things new (every wound)
Every wound
Every strain
Every tortured soul
You turn death
Into life!
All the ruins I walked through
I am not my shame (I am held)
I am held
I am healed in Your perfect name
Jesus (Jesus)
I am new (I am new)
New creation rising in You!

[Outro]
New creation rising
From the dark into Your Truth
Every breath a hallelujah!
Jesus (Jesus)
I am new (I am new)
