it s a new day at last

It s a new day at last
but you re sinking so fast
If left up to your head
you d remember the past
But a new day has come
and new life has begun
Let the old pass away
reconsider it done
There s got to be a reckoning
When you feel the Spirit
beckoning

It s a dead reckoning
Trade the old for the new
It s a dead reckoning
Learn to die daily till
the new life comes through
It s a dead reckoning

You ve got nothing to lose
but you do have to choose
When the Spirit says yes
but the flesh will refuse
And although you feel odd
there are many who trod
Till they re dead to the
world but alive unto God
Some still believe it can
be done
To the steady the race is
still won

And the battle is already
through
And it s hard to believe
but it s true
On a hill long ago where
the blood runs below
Died a King two thieves
and you
