Bury the Old Me

(NF-style Christian rap/worship fusion)

[Intro – Spoken]:

Yeah…

This ain’t about religion.

It’s about survival…

And grace.

[Verse 1 – Rap]:

I’ve been runnin’ from myself, buried deep in denial,

Wrote my prayers in the dark, haven’t meant 'em in a while.

Smile’s fake, pain’s real, I’ve been tryna escape,

Locked doors in my mind, every thought is a cage.

Tried pills, tried pride, tried silence and sin,

But the storm don’t stop when it rages within.

I wear guilt like a chain, let it tighten each day,

But You never walked off when I pushed You away.

Yeah, You stayed through the mess, through the doubt and the scars,

Saw my soul through the cracks, didn’t care 'bout the parts

That I hated the most — the shame and the fear,

You drew near when I screamed, and You wiped every tear.

[Hook – Sung]:

I was a ghost in my own skin,

Fell so deep, I let the dark in.

But You saw light where I saw grief,

You pulled me close, You made me breathe.

Now I’m layin’ down all that broke me…

Jesus, come bury the old me.

[Verse 2 – Rap]:

I don’t need a stage, don’t need fake praise,

I need truth that cuts through the noise and the haze.

Tried to earn love, tried to play brave,

But the grave I dug almost became my grave.

You stepped in with a love that don’t flinch,

Tore the lies down, didn’t move an inch.

While I was lost in the weight of the shame,

You called out my soul and You called out my name.

This ain’t clean, but it’s real —

Redemption ain’t always a pretty feel.

But You bled so I don’t gotta fake it,

Grace so deep, even hell can’t shake it.

[Hook – Sung]:

I was a ghost in my own skin,

Fell so deep, I let the dark in.

But You saw light where I saw grief,

You pulled me close, You made me breathe.

Now I’m layin’ down all that broke me…

Jesus, come bury the old me.

[Bridge – Spoken]:

I'm not who I was.

I'm not what they said.

I'm blood-bought.

I'm free.

[Final Hook – Sung/Rapped]:

You saw a son when I saw defeat,

You picked me up when I fell to my knees.

Now I walk with the One who knows me…

Jesus, You buried the old
