Oh Lord have mercy on this weary soul
Come and take me to the river and make me whole
It?s down with the old up with the new
The hard reset my life take two
Oh Lord have mercy on this weary soul
I?ve got a new lease on life
They say you only live once
But I live twice
I?ve got a new lease on life
I?ve got a new lease on life
Yeah...
Oh Lord remind me of who I am
My chains have been shattered I?m a brand new man
I?m free indeed, I?m dead no more
At my worst I?m still adored
Oh Lord remind me, this is who I am
I?ve got a new lease on life
They say you only live once
But I live twice
I?ve got a new lease on life
I?ve got a new lease on life
Yeah...
The enemy knows where I call my home, but he?s still trying
To mess up my life in the meantime, so Lord remind me
I?ve got a new lease on life
They say you only live once
But I live twice
I?ve got a new lease on life
I?ve got a new lease on life
Yeah...
