Lyrics
\[Verse 1\] I used to carry heavy chains I carried all my guilt and shame I walked alone inside the dark With broken dreams and a heavy heart Then Jesus called me by my name \[Chorus\] The old is gone, the new has come! Look at what my God has done! In Jesus Christ, I am made whole He saved my life, He saved my soul I am a new creation now! \[Verse 2\] My past is washed away in grace He put a smile upon my face No longer bound by who I was He bought me with His holy love And set me in a safe embrace \[Chorus\] The old is gone, the new has come! Look at what my God has done! In Jesus Christ, I am made whole He saved my life, He saved my soul I am a new creation now! \[Bridge\] He takes the pieces, fixes the broken Every word He speaks is spoken in love No longer walking down the dark path Living forever in His bright light! \[Verse 3\] So open up your heart today Give Him your heart and trust His way Accept Lord Jesus as your King And taste the peace His love can bring He’ll make you whole and save your life! \[Chorus\] The old is gone, the new has come! Look at what my God has done! In Jesus Christ, I am made whole He saved my life, He saved my soul I am a new creation now! \[Outro\] All things new He makes all things new In Christ Jesus I am made new \[Fade Out\]
Study notes
Key Themes and Meaning • Abandoning Worldly Perspectives (Verse 16): Believers no longer evaluate people or Christ through a "human point of view"—meaning worldly metrics like social status, race, appearance, wealth, or power. • The New Creation (Verse 17): Being "in Christ" (united to Him by faith) means a total shift in identity and destiny. The old way of life governed by sin passes away, and everything becomes spiritually new. • God’s Work of Reconciliation (Verses 18–19): Reconciliation means restoring a broken relationship. This restoration is initiated entirely by God, who reconciled humanity to Himself through Christ and chose not to count people's trespasses (sins) against them. • The Ministry of Reconciliation (Verses 18–19): Because God has reconciled the world through Christ, He has entrusted believers with the "message and ministry of reconciliation"—calling them to share this grace and mend human relationships.
