I am new.

When I lose my way,
And I forget my name
Remind who I am
In the mirror all I see
Is who I don’t wanna be
Remind me who I am
In the loneliest places
When I can’t remember what grace is
Tell me, once again
Who I am to You, who I am to You
Tell me, lest I forget
Who I am to You, that I belong to You
To You
When my heart is like a stone,
And I’m running far from home
Remind me who I am
When I can’t receive Your love
Afraid I’ll never be enough
Remind me who I am
If I’m Your beloved can You help me believe it?
Tell me, once again
Who I am to You, who I am to You
Tell me, lest I forget
Who I am to You, that I belong to You
To You
I’m the one You love, I’m the one You love
That will be enough, I’m the one You love
Tell me, once again
Who I am to You, who I am to You
Tell me, lest I forget
Who I am to You, that I belong to You
To You
“Because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive in Christ even when we were dead in transgressions -- it is by grace you have been saved.” - Ephesians 2:4-5
“Satan may challenge my clearance and my acceptance; but he can never raise a question as to the worthiness or acceptance of the One who is my life.”  
“When you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having cancelled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the Cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the Cross.” - Colossians 2:13-15
“If only we could see that He’s already set us free . . .  Come on, let’s throw our mirrors down.” - Tenth Avenue North
“Praise the LORD, and forget not His benefits . . . He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities . . . For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him.” - Psalm 103:2,10-11
“Just as we can get discouraged in our sin and momentarily forget the pardon Jesus won for us on Calvary,  so we can get discouraged by our lack of progress and effectiveness and forget about Christ’s present reign -- not just that He will reign when He comes again or that He did reign over death, but that He is reigning now.” - Gary Thomas
"The One who made me doesn't see me the way that I do . . . I'm not who I was. I'm being remade. I am new. I am chosen and holy, and I'm dearly loved. I am new."
