A New Creation

Verse 1

I was carrying names I never chose

Worn like coats that never fit my soul

Every scar tried to tell my story

Every failure tried to claim control

But mercy has a way of interrupting

Right when you think you’re too far gone

Grace doesn’t ask where you’ve been

It just says, “Child, come on home.”

Pre-Chorus

I don’t live by the weight of yesterday

I don’t answer to the shame I wore

There’s a voice that speaks a better word

And I’ve heard it—

I’m not that anymore

Chorus

I’m a new creation

Not because I earned a second chance

But because His goodness found me

When I couldn’t stand

I’m identified by hope

Marked by grace, rewritten by love

I am who He says I am

And He says I’m enough

I’m not named by my mistakes

I’m not defined by what I’ve done

I’m a new creation

Because of grace

Because of love

Verse 2

I’ve walked roads I wouldn’t choose again

I’ve said things I still wish I could take back

But redemption doesn’t edit the past

It redeems it—

And that’s a powerful act

He didn’t just clean the outside

Didn’t just cover what was wrong

He made something brand new inside me

And called it “beloved,” called it “strong.”

Pre-Chorus

I used to chase approval

Trying to be someone else’s idea

Now I stand in what He’s spoken

And that word is clear

Chorus

I’m a new creation

Not because I finally got it right

But because mercy met me

In the middle of the night

I’m identified by hope

Marked by grace, rewritten by love

I am who He says I am

And He says I’m enough

I’m not named by my mistakes

I’m not defined by where I’m from

I’m a new creation

Because of grace

Because of love

Bridge

Hope is in my bloodstream now

Grace is the air I breathe

Goodness isn’t just something I believe in

It’s living in me

I don’t have to prove my worth

I don’t have to fight to belong

I’ve been claimed by something greater

And that’s where I’m standing strong

Old things gone

New life begun

This is the work

Only love could’ve done

Final Chorus

I’m a new creation

Raised from fear to faith

From brokenness to beauty

From regret to grace

I’m identified by hope

Marked by grace, shaped by love

I walk forward unashamed

Held by heaven from above

I’m not what I used to be

I’m becoming who I was meant to become

I’m a new creation

Because of grace

Because of goodness

Because of love

Outro

So if you ask me who I am

I’ll tell you where I stand

I’m not perfect—just forgiven

And that’s more than enough

I’m hope-held

Grace-given

Goodness-led

I am His

And I’m finally… free.
