Lyrics

I was and old creation
Till I met a man one day
He told me how my life could change,
If I gave it all away
But all the fame and glory
Tempted me to stay
But he turned to me again and said

Ch.
You’ve got to leave it all behind
For the sake of Jesus Christ
And you will see your way because he’ll lead you everyday
You’ve got to leave it all behind
As you press t’ward the mark of the high calling of God
In Christ Jesus

Now I’m a new creation because I let him in
I gave away my burdens
And he took away my sins
Now I can live a life that has
So much peace and joy
Cause Jesus made the difference in my life

Ch.
Now I’m leaving it all behind
For the sake of Jesus Christ
And I can see my way
Cause he leads me everyday
I’m leaving all behind
As I press t’ward the mark of the high calling of God
In Christ Jesus

Bridge:
Friends try to get me back
To the life I lived before
But I turn to them again
And say
