God’s Family Hymnal 3:15

【The Beautiful New Self】

1 Evil and slander I was, now I am whiter than snow,

Slave of sin, condemned prisoner I was, now I am the Lord’s love.

Thorns to sting the Lord I was, now I am a lily.

Sharp thistles I was, now I am a rose.

2 Lied in the power of the enemy I was, now I am a conqueror,

Belonged to the dark I was, now I am the light of the world,

Filthy and corrupted I was, now I am holy and loved,

Wandering away from God I was, now I am Abba’s adorable child.

Chorus:

I am a new creation in Christ.

The Lord’s affectionate love, His perfect one.

【Psalm 120:1-7】

A Song of Ascents.

1 In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me.

2 Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue?

4 A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree!

5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, ME-shed that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace.

7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war!
