[Intro] Old Self, Farewell... [soft piano + low boom‑bap kick, quiet ad‑lib] We must die to the flesh... [Ad‑lib] ("Glory to the most high, God… Old self… This is goodbye… T.Y.S.O.N…") "Let It Go!" [Verse 1] Used to walk the old roads, used to follow the tide Used to chase the quick thrill, let my feelings decide You were the voice inside me, pulling me back again Living for the moment, living for the gain We spent so many years walking side‑by‑side But something shifted deep inside when I met the living Christ This ain’t no quick change, ain’t no passing phase I’m writing this letter to the man of my old days... [Pre‑Chorus] I’m turning the page, closing the door Don’t come looking back for me no more What we had was real, but the season is done I’m a new creation, in the Father’s Son. [Chorus] Old self, farewell — it’s time we go our separate ways I can’t keep walking down the path of those old days We shared the hurt, we shared the pain, we shared the late‑night haze But I’m born again now — I’m turning all the pages Old self, farewell — no more returning to the fray I’m walking forward in the light of His grace What we knew is gone, it’s a yesterday phase I’m a new child in Christ — I’m turning all the pages. [Verse 2] You used to whisper “go back, it’s the life you know” Used to remind me of the places I used to go The late‑night crowds, the confusion, the weight of the sin The fear and the anger that used to live within But He stripped the old coat off me, gave me a new one to wear Said “leave the former things, don’t carry the despair” I still see your shadow when the nights get long But I know where my help comes from — I know where I belong... [Pre‑Chorus] I’m turning the page, closing the door Don’t come looking back for me no more What we had was real, but the season is done I’m a new creation, in the Father’s Son. [Chorus] Old self, farewell — it’s time we go our separate ways I can’t keep walking down the path of those old days We shared the hurt, we shared the pain, we shared the late‑night haze But I’m born again now — I’m turning all the pages Old self, farewell — no more returning to the fray I’m walking forward in the light of His grace What we knew is gone, it’s a yesterday phase I’m a new child in Christ — I’m turning all the pages [Bridge] [beat pulls back, reflective flow] “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17) To the man I once was: I don’t hate you, but I can’t stay with you. Thank you for the lessons, but my new life is calling me through. Father, keep my heart steadfast, keep my steps true... [Vocal Snap] ("I belong to You!") [Verse 3] So I lay down the old self, lay down every chain Step into the new day, step into His name Some days the memory tries to knock at my door But I know the truth now — I don’t live there no more This is my parting word, my final goodbye To the former way of living, beneath the sky Now I rise as He called me, walk in His plan New life, new purpose, new heart in His hand. [Funky-Jazz Breakdown] [Chorus] Old self, farewell — it’s time we go our separate ways I can’t keep walking down the path of those old days We shared the hurt, we shared the pain, we shared the late‑night haze But I’m born again now — I’m turning all the pages Old self, farewell — no more returning to the fray I’m walking forward in the light of His grace What we knew is gone, it’s a yesterday phase I’m a new child in Christ — I’m turning all the pages. [Outro] [piano fades slow] In the name of Yeshua, My old self… Farewell. Now Enter... [Dj Scratching] "T.Y.S.O.N!" [END]
