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 Bridge Illumine my heart, O uncreated Light Transfigure this dust by Your Spirit’s might Partaker of glory, I rise from the grave Clothed in the radiance that only You can give Spirit of power, come close and stay Close the distance between night and day Break the grip of the flesh that fights Breathe Your life into these dry bones tonight 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 skin I’m walking in
