[Verse 1] Raised with Christ, I set my eyes Where the Son is seated high The old man buried in the ground My life is hidden deep with His redeeming love I choose to yield what used to rule The lust, the hunger, and the bitter fuel But the flesh still rises, the battles still rage on There’s a gulf between the man I was And the chosen life You say is mine [Chorus] Chosen, holy, and dearly loved I’m wearing compassion like a crown Your kindness flowing in my blood Humility that brings me to my knees Gentleness in the middle of the fight Patience holding through the night And over everything—Faith, Hope, Love This is the new skin I’m walking in [Verse 2] No more walls of race or status Christ is all and in all the same I bear with the ones who still bleed Forgive like I’ve been forgiven I choose to let His peace rule the war in my heart I choose to let His Word dwell in me No room left for the rest [Chorus] Chosen, holy, and dearly loved I’m wearing compassion like a crown Your kindness flowing in my blood Humility that brings me to my knees Gentleness in the middle of the fight Patience holding through the night And over everything—Faith, Hope, Love This is the new skin I’m walking in [Verse 3 - Rap] From the dust to the dawn, You rewrote my story Pulled me out of the dark, dressed me up in glory Every scar on my soul is a line You redeem Every tear that I cried now waters the dream I was chained to the lies, to the fear, to the doubt But Your word hit hard, knocked the old man out Now I walk in the light, with a flame within Every step that I take in this brand-new skin [Bridge - Rap] Illumine my heart, O uncreated Light Let the fire in my chest push back that night Transfigure this dust by Your Spirit’s might Turn the valley of bones to an army in sight Partaker of glory, I rise from the grave You’re the strength in my weakness, the courage I crave Clothed in a radiance I can’t earn or buy When the flesh wants control, let that old man die Spirit of power, come close and stay Fill the space in my soul till it shines like day Break the grip of the fight that drags me down Breathe life in my lungs, set fire to this town [Final Chorus] Chosen, holy, and dearly loved I’m wearing compassion like a crown Your kindness flowing in my blood Humility that brings me to my knees Gentleness in the middle of the fight Patience holding through the night And over everything—Faith, Hope, Love This is the new skin I’m walking in This is the new skin This is my new skin This is the new life This is my new life This is the new skin I’m walking in
