A New
Creation
On this journey leading to nowhere, On the horizon,
destination : despair.
I tried so hard to find meaning in life, I always failed, all I found was
strife!
Wandering aimlessly, alone without a guide- I was lost-
and had no place to hide!
Then there came a day when I came face to face With
myself and my own lack of grace...
But at my heart's end alone without a prayer, I turned
and saw a savior there!
Since I asked Jesus into my heart,
God has given my life a brand new start-
A new creation He has made of me! Oh!
Once my lonely heart wandered in despair-
was there meaning to life and did anyone really care?
Then I received His righteousness and peace, oh! and Joy!
We're all dead souls killed by sin
Til belief in Jesus allows us to live again-
Reconciled by his own cleansing blood- washed clean!
Yes one man's sin condemned all men
so one man's righteopusness freed all men
the choice is yours to live or die
Without this truth your life's a lie!
So come on children, he said "Drink of Me!"
I'll give you life and I'll give it abundantly!
A spring of water welling up
A spring of water welling up
A spring of water welling up to eternal life! oh Life!
Now if we truly die with Him then we shall also live with
Him
For by His death we're freed from sin to have eternal
life within!
Yes if we truly die with Him then we shall also live with
Him
For by The Blood we're freed from sin to have abundant
life within!
Since I asked Jesus into my heart,
God has given my life a brand new start-
A new creation He has made, A new creation He has made,
A new creation He has made of me! Oh!

I heard this song at a coffee house in 1972 and
rearranged the lyrics and words to fit my experience...
