A new identity,
Oh God! That's what I want.
I willingly enter this Covenant with You
I no longer want to be known as Abram—
An exalted father.
Instead, I want to be what You call me!
Breathe Your breath into my innermost being.
Abraham--A father of many nations,
Generations of lives changed and redeemed.
A new name,
A new identity,
Oh God! That's what I want.
Give me Your blessing because
I don't want to be known as the same person!
Jacob, the deceiver forever known as
The one who stole his brother's birthright away.
I WON'T let go until You change me from the inside out.
Israel--I struggled with God and man...
And I've overcome.
A new name,
A new identity,
Oh God! That's what I want.
I need direction. I've been changed.
I'm tired of being known as Saul,
The one who kills followers of the Way.
I tried hard, even asked for You to lead me and now You are.
Paul--small and humble
Unworthy to carry the Good News to the world.
I just ask...that You use me even as I am unworthy.
A new name,
A new identity,
Oh God! That's what I want.
I’m tired of being so bitter
Hard and angry...Mary—lost in a sea of bitterness
Change me from the inside out Lord!
I want to be a something more,
Ruth--friend
Yes, that's it! A friend to the friendless...
To pull others from where I've been.
