The beginning of change, it was a new start You turned ‘round your life and gave Him your heart But now you still feel so very lost and so afraid The demons crawl through, haunting your dreams. And you start to doubt that you’ll ever be free But hold onto faith, remember that Love’s already won When the fears creep in Close your eyes, and breathe again God has got your heart; you are being remade The past is gone; you are not the same Christ makes you new with every day You are forever changed through the power of His Grace Some days you are strong, some days you are weak The fight just goes on and the future seems bleak But never forget that He’s on your side and won’t let you fall. When the fears creep in Close your eyes, and breathe again God has got your heart; you are being remade The past is gone; you are not the same Christ makes you new with every day You are forever changed You’re not bound by your mistakes You are changed, to sin you’re no longer a slave Christ has purchased your life The price was paid with His blood His mercy cleanses you And it’s more than enough God has got your heart; you are being remade The past is gone; you are not the same Christ makes you new with every day You are forever changed God has got your heart; you are being remade The past is gone; you are not the same Christ makes you new with every day You are forever changed, you will never be the same Through the power of His Grace

Finally Free 05:17
You tell yourself that you're just fine And you don't need anyone's help or any peace of mind These walls you've built around your heart Guard you from the lies and tricks of promised love You've built a prison for yourself Your heart is crying for release You've drowned in darkness far too long and you're struggling to breathe You've heard the stories of the One With the power to break the chains and let your captive spirit run Too long you've been under Take a deep breath and just believe Open up to the sunlight It's a new life Girl, you're finally free You're quite the master of disguise But your mind is wearing thin; it's getting harder to lie Girl, your kingdom's gonna fall So stop building on your pride Just give to Him your all This game has gone on far too long You're losing steam and you can't carry on Girl, why don't you just open your eyes The devil's got you hypnotized You were made for so much more than chasing ghosts, searching door after door Only He can satisfy; His grace is enough In freedom you'll fly

Overcome 03:33
The world awakes with the breaking of each dawn And in the air is heard Creation’s song Every night the earth sleeps under a canopy of stars It all proclaims how beautiful You are And I’m overcome By what You’ve done The words within Your Book capture my mind Tales of Your great power and Your might The deeds of chosen sinners And the grace of kings and queens But I know they’re more than just stories Or make-believe And I’m overcome By what You’ve done And You conquered the grave On that infamous night When at the cross You poured out Your love And now Your people await Your return And my heart beats faster just knowing You’ll come The truth of who You are leaves me amazed I’m amazed And I’m overcome By what You’ve done That You’d send Your only Son So that I could enter into Your kingdom And I’m overcome By what You’ve done

The further I go and the longer I walk down the path of this short life The veil of innocence shakes and begins to dissolve before my own eyes And I can see now what You saw all along The freedom of youth shielded my virgin mind from a world so cold and mean It wasn’t until I stepped out in the rain; I was faced with reality The more I grow with You, the more my heart breaks at the truth Even in our wicked state, You pursue us endlessly The sin we embrace won’t keep You from clothing us in purity You find beauty in the unclean The seal of adoption through Your Spirit makes us Your daughters and Your sons From birth You desired to call us Your own. Surely You knew what we’d become? Yet You chose us from the start to be the lovers of Your heart The more I try to run from You, the more You seek me out. My soul feels so unworthy, Lord, and my head is full of doubt. Why would you pursue me so, what am I unto a King? Then Your mercy washes over me; it’s a beautiful cleansing! Even in our wicked state, You pursue us endlessly The sin we embrace won’t keep You from clothing us in purity Your Grace brings me beauty In You, I am made clean.
