"New Creation" Lyrics [edit]
by Jordan Lara (JL) | from the album City of Hope
 

Feat: Jc Villafan and Devin Leonti

Aye yo this fights go’n kill me
married to a feeling
lust, pride, anger
how long can I consider this?
this well’s running dry
How long should I be drilling?
throwing fists at the wind
praying that I’m killing

Running out of answers
appetite is fiending
another ten rounds
man is you dreaming?
don’t want to show my face
I’m all broken out
throw a veil on my head cuz the beast coming out

If these walls could talk
the walls in my heart
they’d scream, “There’s only so long till it all falls apart.”
the sins I’ve been redeemed from
have me day dream’n
questioning my strength against its temptation

Alone in the dark
bare knuckle boxing
bound by my past
my thoughts got me locked in
chained to a memory
a slave to bad habits
so I laid down my life before God and said have it

Chorus:
God created the world
and recreated my life
my sins in the past
I’m never looking behind
the road ahead may be dark
but now I can see
oh the future’s looking bright
God has something for me

Ayo, my ships so far out
can’t see the lighthouse
all these shady hideouts
I forgot to keep an eye out
I’m stuck in a dark place
eternity in timeout
my flame just flickers in the wind
till it dies out

Ahh oh the cold dry feeling
my soul cries out
but my flesh ain’t willing
these lies I’ve been living
is shaping whom I am
which is never what I wanted
its the monster I became

Believing in the lies - false doctrine
who’s the author of deception?
fallen angel - that’s him
reaching out through the crowds
only if I could touch the hem
of the garment of Jesus
maybe I could be cleansed

Intense fenced in by my sins
this world I’ve created
is depressing me immense
chained to a memory
a slave to bad habits
so I laid down my life before God and said have it

Chorus

Ay yo, crawled out hell whole
still smell the smoke
refined by the fire
purified by the cross
all the notches on my belt
man I count it all loss
they just don’t carry weight when we talk about my pops

Fostered by the Spirit
battle wounds - cured it
God’s peace like a river
flowing in me like a lyric
some scars still remain
but the pain I don’t bear it
free at last, free at last
go head repeat it like a parrot

Tear down the walls
break down the idols
believe I said, believe
faith, faith like a child
strength like a lion
fighting with that fire
knock down seven times but bounce back even higher

The Devil, he a try to
remind you of your past
whispering lies like, you’ll never last
but all things are made new
the old things are past
a new creation
raised up from the ash

You're a new creation
old things are passed away
It’s a new beginning
It’s a brand new day

You're a new creation
you’ll never be the same
no turning back now
that your life has changed

You're a new creation
old things are passed away
It’s a new beginning
It’s a brand new day

You're a new creation
you’ll never be the same
no turning back now
that your life has changed
repeat x3
