Romans 6:11, Galatians 2:20
Words and Music by Bob Hartman
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 pa*s away, reconsider it done
There's got to be a reckoning
When you feel the Spirit beckoning
[Chorus]
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't be done
To the steady the race is still won
[Chorus]
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.
[Chorus]
