New Creation Gray ft. Brendan Dorman Lyrics

My body works pretty well

But I see cracks within the shell

Entropy is trapped in every cell

The symptoms are awfully clear

They scoff and taunt and interfere

Acting young is growing insincere

I don't think I'll really want my new creation body

Till I put myself in a wheelchair

I doubt I'll appreciate what Christ bought for me

Before my mirror shows me gray hair

I'm already past my prime

I never learned to turn back time

Is decay the sentence or the crime?

So blind toward what I forsake

I praise the highs, ignore the ache

Pray life gives me more than death will take

But take what - isn't life a gift?

And a greater gift is yet to come

I don't think I'll really want my new creation body

Till I put myself in a wheelchair

I doubt I'll appreciate what Christ bought for me

Before my mirror shows me gray hair

What if that day comes

And we don't look twenty-one

Instead we've all got silver and white

Upon our heads?

And those who died at a young age

Will wear the badge of decades,

And not a soul feels older

'Cause futility is over

I don't think I'll really want my new creation body

Till I see what it took to get us there

I doubt I'll appreciate what Christ bought for me

Before I'm wearing, like a badge, my gray hair

I'm wearing, like a crown, my gray hair
