Woke up this morning and realized I've been made brand new
All of my old friends are asking, "What happened to you?"
Oh
That man is gone
He's in the grave where he belongs
That debt was paid up on a cross
And I'm moving on
I'm done holding on
To the lies in my head
They're just whispers
And whispers are nothing in the end
(Nothing in the end)
I keep my eyes
On what lies ahead
Today is a new day
Yesterday is dead
All of my old ways, they left my heart broken and bruised
Thank God they did 'cause the old me was brought back to You
Mmm
That man is gone
He's in the grave where he belongs
That debt was paid up on a cross
And I'm moving on
I'm done holding on
To the lies in my head
They're just whispers
And whispers are nothing in the end
(Nothing in the end)
I keep my eyes
On what lies ahead
Today is a new day
Yesterday is dead
That man is gone
He's in the grave where he belongs
That debt was paid up on a cross
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on
I'm done holding on
To the lies in my head
They're just whispers
And whispers are nothing in the end
(Nothing in the end)
I keep my eyes
On what lies ahead
Today is a new day
Yesterday is dead
Today is a new day
Yesterday is dead
