My mind's painting pictures
Trying to pull me back
And trap me in the past
And I'm hearing whispers
Saying what I used to be
And how I'll never be free
But nothing's louder, louder than the cross
Love is shaking, breaking it all off
Oh there's a fire rising in me
And oh I know
It's changing and renewing me
I'll never be the same
You wrote my story
Before I knew my name
Before the world was made
And you get the glory
You wash away my sin
Time and time again
There's so much power, power in the cross
Your perfect love is bringing back the lost
Oh there's a fire rising in me
And oh I know
It's changing and renewing me
I'll never be the same
I'm washed in your blood
I'm not who I was
Clothed in endless love
I'll never be the same
Oh there's a fire rising in me
And oh I know
It's changing and renewing me
I'll never be the same
