There is a dividing line in covenants
The new replacing the old
The old deal wasn't good enough
The new is out of this world
We view the new from the spirit of the old
We carry on regardless, as if it never changed
================&&&&&====================
There is a new commandment given
To Love in the power of His love
To relinquish the burden of the law we cannot keep
And enter the reality of one He keeps through us
We clamour, "give us the old, that we may prove how good we are getting"
We carry on regardless, as if we never heard
================&&&&&====================
There is a trail of blood from the cross to the grave
One sacrifice, once and for all
Declaring it is fully paid, nothing more is owed
On our knees all day long we beg, "O father please forgive"
We are sure our sins are too great, we must complement the price
We carry on regardless, as if He never bled
================&&&&&====================
There is a new creation by the hand of God
The old has been crucified, the new man is Christ
Full of all the power, God ever had
With prayer and fasting we plead
"The needs are too great, give us more power"
We carry on regardless, as if He wasn't there
================&&&&&====================
He came to give Eternal life
Salvation without end
None can take us out of His hand, so the scripture says
We live in fear of loosing, what we did not earn
Convinced our efforts would secure, that which was never insecure
We carry on regardless, as if Eternal had an end
================&&&&&====================
In departing He said, "I'll never leave you nor forsake you"
How could He, He came to live in us
Our only hope of living
Our prayers ask Him to come to where He never left
We sing of our desperation for His presence
We carry on regardless, as if He had lied
================&&&&&====================
We date our history around His life
He affected more lives than we can ever count
He came, He died, He rose and lives
His mission He fulfilled, declaring, "It is finished"
We are called by His name
We carry on regardless, as if he never came
================&&&&&====================
All of creation had been waiting
All of the old proclaiming the new
A shadow of the Real life, to be given in Christ
Now to enter the rest of His finished work
Fulfill His pleasure, by enjoying His abundant provision
Carry on regardless, as if we never fell
