I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
- Galatians 2:20
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
- 1 Peter 2:9
I carried labels carved in stone
Every failure spoke my own
The voices etched me into chains
But fire broke the mark they gave
The silence trembles, the old self fades
I am not the man those voices made
He called me from the shadows
The dark has lost its hold
He calls me through the fire
Where His mercy makes me whole
Now that I bear His name
No shadow can remain
I rise when He calls my name
Forever changed
The scars remind me where I bled
But they declare I live instead
The chains collapsed, the silence broke
I breathe the word His mercy spoke
The silence trembles, the old self fades
I am not the man those voices made
He called me from the shadows
The dark has lost its hold
He calls me through the fire
Where His mercy makes me whole
Now that I bear His name
No shadow can remain
I rise when He calls my name
Forever changed
I am not who I was
I have been remade
The darkness defeated
Forever I am changed
He called me from the shadows
The dark has lost its hold
He calls me through the fire
Where His mercy makes me whole
Now that I bear His name
No shadow can remain
I rise when He calls my name
Forever changed
