My friend Michelle wrote this song in advance of my baptism in December 2013. She has given me permission to use this in this album. Thanks, Michelle!
lyrics
verse
My old life’s behind me,
a new life’s before me,
coming up from the waters,
coming up a new man.
My wandering is done now,
I’m ready to make my vow,
before You, Jesus, I bow,
and stand up a new man.
chorus
I’m casting aside the things that made me feel safe,
stepping up, stepping out in new faith,
Jesus, I’m following You to the river,
let Your Spirit rest on me.
bridge
I proclaim my trust today,
I’m buried with Jesus and raised to life,
heaven is reaching down to me,
reaching down to me.
