Story behind the song
Wrote song at one sitting. I did the original acoustic and organ and Dave overlaid the Lead and 12 string on the chorus.
Song is really about being a different person once you put your faith in Christ. The Gospel changes you not from the outside in but the inside out.
Lyrics
Let’s not pretend. On my own I was doomed
I didn’t have a chance of hitting God’s target at all
My life was just an absolute mess
An insurmountable unpayable debt
The gospel
It changes a man
From the inside out (2 Cor 5:17, Rom 6:4, Rom 12:2)
I shut and locked the door; stopped living for self
Starting living for heaven Not hell
My sins were washed spotless and clean
God in the flesh; came to adopt me
** Break
The old man is dead; I’m not who I used to be
My focus now is on eternity
The Spirit inside; Changes who I am
My life aligned to the master’s plan
He came; he died and on third day he rose
Coming back in Glory; My life’s sacred hope
I put my faith in the one that bled
He’s where I rest my weary head
