In Christ, a rebirth, a slate wiped clean Old chains shattered, a brand new scene Yesterday's gone, no lookin' back A fresh start given, ain't no turnin' back on that New heart, new mind, new soul takes flight Darkness fades, bathed in His light The past is buried, a distant shore Step into freedom, forevermore No condemnation, no guilt, no shame Just grace and mercy, whispering His name A life transformed, a spirit renewed In Christ we're stronger, forever imbued So cast off the old, embrace the new day Walk in His purpose, light up the way A new creation, His love defined In Christ, a new life, for all mankind Be in Christ, be alive Let His spirit help you thrive Be in Christ, find your way In His love, every day Be in Christ, be set free For all time and eternity Be in Christ, feel His might Walk with Him in the guiding light Life's fleeting shadow, a fading breath Ends in the dust, the sting of death But hold fast, friend, there's a different way Through Christ, we rise to a brighter day Who you are now, ain't who you'll be A transformation for all to see Submit to the Lord, believe and trust Leave the old behind, turn to dust From mortal coil to spirit free Embrace the change, eternity No longer bound by earthly chains A life unending, washes clean the stains So let go of the past, the hurt, the fear Step into His grace, forever near From end to endless, a divine decree In Christ, we live eternally Be in Christ, be alive Let His spirit help you thrive Be in Christ, find your way In His love, every day Be in Christ, be set free For all time and eternity Be in Christ, feel His might Walk with Him in the guiding light Closer to You Lord that's my plea Draw me near for all to see Grant me courage to walk Your way To trust Your word day by day For those who struggle lost in the haze Open their eyes to Your loving gaze Help me grasp what I can't comprehend So every day Your gift I'll tend Like Jesus showed Your guiding light I'll follow Him with all my might In His name I lift my voice To praise Your love and make my choice Each moment cherished a sacred trust In Your grace I rise from dust A humble servant on bended knee Forever grateful eternally.

Give me the courage to follow your word and believe in all the good that you have given to those of us that struggle to comprehend. Help me to comprehend and I will live everyday like that gift that it is. I will do this as your son, Jesus Christ, showed me, and it is in his name that I pray. Amen Be in Christ, be alive Let His spirit help you thrive Be in Christ, find your way In His love, every day Be in Christ, be set free For all time and eternity Be in Christ, feel His might Walk with Him in the guiding light
