Yo, it's me, I'm in a car
Don't have service
Fresh start
Love it
Just think raw, acoustic, heartfelt honesty
Check it
It's like
It's like
The way You love me, it's so amazing
Even when I walk away from You (I walk away from You)
And I'm a risk that You are taking
Now Your mercy's helping me see the truth (helping me see the truth)
I can't seem to run far enough to escape Your love
I'm ready for a fresh start
Take my heart
Do whatever You gotta do, to get through
And I'm begging for a clean slate, this day
Wash me in amazing grace
Wash it all away
In the moment I feel broken
I'm convicted, but then I'm slippin' back (I keep slippin', yeah)
Perfection and performance
It's a vicious cycle, got me trapped (it's got me trapped), whoa
I can't seem to run far enough to escape Your grace
I'm ready for a fresh start
Take my heart
Do whatever You gotta do, to get through
And I'm begging for a clean slate, this day
Wash me in amazing grace
Wash it all away
I'm ready for a fresh start, whoa
You're givin' me a fresh start, whoa
Hey, I can't believe that You're not givin' up on me
I can't believe that Your mind isn't changin'
Even when I'm caught up in the world and I'm stumblin'
You never treat me how I know I am deservin'
I hear You whisper that I'm chosen
I feel You fixin' everything in me that's broken
And You're so patient and gentle with my heart
Unbelievable mercy givin' me a fresh start
I can't seem to run far enough to escape Your grace
I'm ready for a fresh start
Take my heart
Do whatever You gotta do (do whatever), to get through (do whatever)
And I'm begging for a clean slate, this day
Wash me in amazing grace
Wash it all away
I'm ready for a fresh start, whoa (You're givin' me a, You're givin' me a fresh start)
You're givin' me a fresh start, whoa
(You're givin' me, You're givin' me a fresh start)
Fresh start, whoa (You're givin' me a, You're givin' me a fresh start)
You're givin' me a fresh start, whoa
(You're givin' me a fresh start)
