Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I was an orphan
Born into darkness all alone
I was a prisoner
Locked in the shadows without hope
But the power of God is the message of the cross
For the Son of man came to seek and save the lost
You gave me a new name
Because of Your love
I will never be the same
Bought with Your blood
Jesus, I was blind but now I see
You resurrected me
Changed everything
When You gave me a new name
Under the surface
Here in this temporary home
There is a spirit
Given to guide this restless soul
For the old has passed
And the new has come to life
You have washed me clean
Now, I'm holy in Your sight
You gave me a new name
Because of Your love
I will never be the same
Bought with Your blood
Jesus, I was blind but now I see
You resurrected me
Changed everything
When You gave me a new name
The first page of a beautiful story
All about a soul made for Your glory
There's no fear 'cause I know that You're with me
And this life is just beginning
The first page of a beautiful story
All about a soul made for Your glory
There's no fear 'cause I know that You're with me
And this life is just beginning
You gave me a new name
Because of Your love
I will never be the same
Bought with Your blood
Jesus, I was blind but now I see
You resurrected me
Changed everything
When You gave me a new name
When You gave me a new name
You gave me a new name
