Old Self from The Fill by A Life Aligned

I so hate this, how to escape this,
all born again but too bored to dig through the meaning
Worn out traditions versus provision, I want
all the good You’re giving without running from temptation

I am a ghost of my past
still it haunts me to death,
old ways to cope with
all these emotions

But if I’ve been made brand new
is no less than all true
Why do I do
what I don’t want to do?

Shake me heavily, let it break me to remake me whole
Cut the chord in me, so that my old self may let go
Guide me to the guarantee: behold I make all things new
Shake me heavily, until all I desire is You

I so hate this, how to escape this when I’m
home alone and I’m lonely, and I’m horny
but don’t judge me by my human nature, right?
There’s no harm done when I look at this,
just a few clicks for a business that I know is inherently wicked
And I know You detest the way that I don’t detest this enough;
this maltreatment of a pure privilege is something that I still love

But if I’ve been made brand new
is no less than all true
Why do I do
what I don’t want to do?

Shake me heavily, let it break me to remake me whole
Cut the chord in me, so that my old self may let go
Guide me to the guarantee: behold I make all things new
Shake me heavily, until all I desire is You

Is it still well with my soul?
Did you forget the truth? Listen to me as my grace suffices you
Is it still well with my soul?
You’ve been saved by My blood, don’t let old ways discourage you
It is still well with my downcast soul ...
I, Myself, will go before you,
It is still well with my downcast soul …
I, Myself, will not forsake you

Shake me heavily, let it break me to remake me whole
Cut the chord in me, so that my old self may let go
Guide me to the guarantee: behold I make all things new
Shake me heavily, until all I desire is You
