I want the new life

passing from faith to faith.

I need it, I must have it

that extra dose of grace.



For I have been walking

through a swamp of fog.

I need the sun to shine

and I need a new song.



The old ways do not work,

I can not return back.

I must face forward

and press through this attack.



Oh dear God,

keep my eye on You,

keep Your word coming

refresh me a new.



I have not been perfect

still I answer your call.

You know how I've tried

and you know how often I fall.



But you keep picking me up

you still have faith in me.

There is not other choice

but to continue to believe.



Build my confidence

Fill me with your power.

I need your strength right now

each minute and each hour.



You know the roar I hear

in the waves and in the jungle.

You know how I react

and how often I bungle.



Do to me what you did for

Peter, Moses, David, and Paul.

They all messed up to a point

and then they turned around.



There's hope in you

because I am your kid.

A Father never gives up,

he wants his child to live.



Oh Lord, I plead the blood

of Jesus upon my mistakes.

And ask for your direction

as I expectantly wait.
