lyrics
Intro/Outro (DNL) He's in me and it is true I'm in Him and I am new Verse 1 (Protégé) Used to think God was unjust Learned it's only Him I can trust, now I must Tell you that I'm a Christian, now whatcha gonna do When I come through, I'll explain it to you (Yeah) Let me start to show that I've been changed I'll tell you what I know but it might sound strange Going with the flow, just acting the same And I thought He made me fallen, though He made me this way I didn't think I chose it like it's the way of nature Sinning like I didn't know the forgiveness of my Savior But I ain't an exception 'cause sin is inherent And now that is apparent to me so here this I was Crawling in my sin He showed me we first faultless Fallen we became and here's why I drop this: Jesus paid the price died for all of us So we can be redeemed if we will just accept it Chorus I got a new life and I'm on a new walk Running down the right path so just listen to me talk About the One who saved me from hell God got me into heaven: that's what I'm talking about He's in me and it is true I'm in Him and I am new Lost my old attitude 'cause I'm not the same dude That you used to know Verse 2 (DNL) If it's a new life that you wanna hear about Just listen to my tale I'm 'bout to spit out Seems just yesterday I was counting myself out Of everything in my life but I wasn't shouting out Nope, I didn't; not about nothing Yo, my daily routine was just running Away cause I hated who I was and I hated who I wasn't hated life like no other "Get away from me!" Suicide, creeping up at my door The only thing keeping me alive was Lord Jesus Christ Word Truth and the Light Yo, my life is new because His blood poured Now He's been working in my life like a remix It was a mess but because of Him it's being fixed Yo, I hope that all you can see this Christ has the power to change life, believe it!

about

Song Explanation:

This song is an expression of how me and Tim have new lives thanks to Jesus Christ.

Tim's verse tackles a couple subjects that many Christians struggle with to some degree during their walk with Christ: Excusing your own sin because Christ already died for it and thinking it is just okay and acting just like the world.

In my verse, I wanted to get across how much God's been working in my life lately. It seems that a year or two ago, I was depressed non-stop and was so introverted I struggled with simple social interactions. Now, I'm still more on the introvert-ish side, but God has really used all kinds of things in my life to make me realize that my life is too good for me to be depressed.

I really hope this song encourages whoever may listen to it that God can do things in your life no matter what the circumstances.

God Bless,
DNL

P.S. -- I'm sorry for the quality of my mic and my mixing skills. I'm still relatively new to mixing and am using my laptop mic.

Acknowledgements:

God -- For giving me this talent and sending His son to save me.
Tim B. -- For getting me to do this song with him and convincing me to perform it at our school's retreat.
Anno Domini Beats -- For providing a free download of the instrumental used in this recording (annodominibeats.com).


2012 Re-release Notes:
"Tim B." didn't have a stage name at this point, but does now. He goes by "Protégé" and is currently working on an EP under our unofficial label "GrowiN Records."

Also, the file is higher quality than the previously released version, although due to mic quality, it most-likely isn't noticeable.
