New Lease on Life

[Verse 1] Waking up to sunlight's grace, Birds sing as I embrace, This new day, no wrath to face, Can’t believe I’m in this place. [Verse 2] Feeling the breeze, life anew, Colors bright, skies so blue, A new lease on life I have found, Grace lifts me off the ground. [Chorus] Jesus, you changed my whole view, Your grace, longer than I ever knew, Every morning, I'm grateful for, The chance to live, to love, to give more. [Rap Interlude 1] Lord, I do not want to hurt you no more When I think ‘bout how I treated you before I cry and my heart drops to the floor But you pick it up, promising more [Verse 3] Since you set me back on my feet, In joy I walk the paths you've decreed. Thank you for paving the way ahead, With joyful paths where your love is spread. [Verse 4] Life is a gift, so I am giving mine away Your works, fulfilling, lovingly ordained for me each day To serve you is thrilling! [Rap Interlude 2] When others test me, push me to fray, I recall your mercy to me; I pray. I do not feel like forgiving today, Yet I release them from hurts they do and say [Rap Interlude 2] I must forgive, as you forgave, Not to hold back, not to enslave. Mercy’s path, wide and clear, Your example, always near. [Chorus] [Rap Interlude 2] I must forgive, as you forgave, Not to hold back, not to enslave. Mercy’s path, wide and clear, Your example, always near. [Chorus] Jesus, you changed my whole view, Your grace, longer than I ever knew, Every morning, I'm grateful for, The chance to live, to love, to give more. [Verse 5] Jesus by your grace Saved from the dark place I once did belong. To you I spare no song [Verse 6] When others’ wrongs I want to repay I recall how you cast ALL my sins away As forgiven, forgive, no more any hell to pay for me, for them, and I praise you each day [Bridge] Feeling the breeze, life anew, Colors bright, skies so blue, A new lease on life I have found, Grace lifts me off of the ground. [Outro Chorus] I sleep well within your grace Crickets sing as I embrace This calm night, no wrath to face Can’t believe I’m in this place [outro] [Outro Chorus] I sleep well within your grace Crickets sing as I embrace This calm night, no wrath to face Can’t believe I’m in this place [outro]
