Goodbye yesterday
I'm living in the light of a new day
I won't waste another minute in my old ways
Praise the Lord I've been born again
Goodbye yesterday
I'm living in the light of a new day
I won't waste another minute in my old ways
Praise the Lord I've been born again
Oh I've been born again
Again and again and again and again
You rescued me out of the mess I was in
You traded my sorrow for something to sing
Now I'm dancing on the grave that I once lived in
Goodbye yesterday
I'm living in the light of a new day
I won't waste another minute in my old ways
Praise the Lord I've been born again
Goodbye yesterday
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
I've got resurrection in my veins
Praise the Lord I've been born
Again and again and again and again
You rescued me out of the mess I was in
You traded my sorrow for something to sing
Now I'm dancing on the grave that I once lived in
Again and again and again and again
You rescued me out of the mess I was in
You traded my sorrow for something to sing
Now I'm dancing on the grave that I once lived in
I have decided to follow Jesus
The world behind the cross before
And I won't turn back
I have decided to follow Jesus
The world behind the cross before
And I won't turn back
I have decided to follow Jesus
The world behind the cross before
And I won't turn back
I have decided to follow Jesus
The world behind the cross before
And I won't turn back
And I won't turn back
No I won't turn back
The world behind the cross before
And I won't turn back
And I won't turn back
No I won't turn back
The world behind the cross before
And I won't turn
Again and again and again and again
You rescued me out of the mess I was in
You traded my sorrow for something to sing
Now I'm dancing on the grave that I once lived in
Again and again and again and again
You rescued me out of the mess I was in
You traded my sorrow for something to sing
Now I'm dancing on the grave that I once lived in
Praise the Lord I've been born again
Praise the Lord I've been born again
