[Verse 1]
I remember that faithful day
When I called on Jesus Christ
Hands shaking on my knees
I had nothing left inside
You heard me through the wreckage
When my name was barely mine
And mercy found me first
At the edge of my own life
[Pre-Chorus]
But You showed me the truth
In the cold, hard light
That the man I used to be
Could not walk into Your life
So I took him to the ground
With tears in both my eyes
And I said goodbye
[Chorus]
I buried my old self
Buried him deep
I buried my old self
He won’t follow me
Jesus, raise me up
From the dust and the grief
I buried my old self
Now I’m finally free
[Verse 2]
I dug with my own hands
In the dirt and the rain
Every lie I carried
Every wound, every chain
I laid him down in silence
No glory, just pain
Then I lifted up my face
And I called out Your name
[Pre-Chorus]
You showed me the truth
In the cold, hard light
That the man I used to be
Could not walk into Your life
So I took him to the ground
With tears in both my eyes
And I said goodbye
[Chorus]
I buried my old self
Buried him deep
I buried my old self
He won’t follow me
Jesus, raise me up
From the dust and the grief
I buried my old self
Now I’m finally free
[Bridge]
Let the grave stay closed
Let the прошлый man rest
I’m alive in Your hands
I’m a new one, I guess
If the night comes back
I’ll remember this:
You were faithful that day
And You still are this
[Chorus]
I buried my old self
Buried him deep
I buried my old self
He won’t follow me
Jesus, raise me up
From the dust and the grief
I buried my old self
Now I’m finally free
