The Old Has Gone

Lyrics

I remember You said that old things have passed away

And behold You would make all things new

And You said that nothing is too hard for You to do

I stand here now with all my past

All the ghosts that used to cling

Have finally lost their hold on everything

I am a new creation and my life has a new foundation

But the shadows tried to stay

My heavy heart was lost in yesterday

But I said no

I said no

The old has gone

The old has gone

A new beginning has begun

The old has gone

My weary soul is finally breathing in

A future that is free of where I've been

The chains of shame have turned to rust

And crumble softly into dust

But the shadows tried to stay

My heavy heart was lost in yesterday

But I said no

I said no

The old has gone

The old has gone

A new beginning has begun

The old has gone

This new life isn't earned

It is a gift a lesson learned

The final turning of a page

The breaking out of my own cage

The old has gone

The old has gone

A new beginning has been won

The old has gone

Amen
