Timothy Brindle - My New Life lyrics

[Verse 1] I was struck in the face by lightning and fire/ It was the loving grace of Christ the Messiah/ He said, “Trust Me Tim, Repent (of) your lust and sin/ Other wise be s**ed up in a gust of wind!”/ ‘But God I'm evil, I been a greedy traitor/ An awful weasel- weaker than a feeble raver/ I can't reach you, I really need a Savior/ “Just believe in Jesus, He's the Mediator”/ You mean it's that simple, I'm obviously not worthy/ “Relax Brindle, it's gotta just be God's mercy”/ I was a hopeless troll/ But the Lord's amazing/ I musta' been a chosen soul before creation/ So I humbled myself before the Lord/ And I was promised an ensured reward/ Plus in heaven, I'll receive my bonus portion/ I needed a Father, I was a homeless orphan/ So I've been adopted through the doctrine of election/ I'm washed through confession/ I was lost in depression/ I've been saved from hell/ So I praise and yell/ Yo, His grace His swell/ I can't wait to tell!/ I've been born again with immortal men/ I was torn in sin and it thorned my skin/ But Christ violently died for me/ I was blind with His shine I can finally see!!!/ [Hook] I have a new life, this is my new life, I was in true strife before I knew Christ I'm just a baby Christian, this miracle's new to me/ I'm still trying to hit my spiritual puberty/ Christ claimed all my fails as His loss/ He took my sins, and nailed'em on the Cross/ I'm a child of God, He bought my soul in advance/ Christ is risen I felt the holes in His hands/ I love my life but now I see it's His/ My soul's been resurrected like Jesus is/ I have a new life, this is my new life, I was in true strife before I knew Christ [Verse 2] I used to live everyday like it was my last/ Smoking blunts and hash/ But the d** went fast/ The buzz would pa**, every night drink and vomit/ Wake up hung-over scrub the sink with comet/ Life was just up's and down's and high's and low's/ I lived off the high supplied by violent flows/ There was no decency or peace in me/ Only deceit and grief/ I'd frequently fiend for weed/ But I been rescued from d**h, dude/ Now I look in the mirror and say, ‘God Blessed You'/ I used to walk around/ Quite angry but Christ claimed me/ From the lost and found/ He cured depression/ Healed my heart decay/ Now I start my day with a harp to play/ I was far away/ A starving slave/ Now I'm a part of His large buffet with chardonnay/ The woman that I loved witnessed to me/ Life changed significantly/ As a Christian I'm free/ Now I use this special gift to emcee/ To try to catch other lost fish in the sea/ I have eternal life, I escape God's wrath/ I tried to count my blessings but I lost track/ I was rude, blasphemous but Jesus forgives/ I found true happiness and a reason to live! [Hook]
