Like New Lyrics

I am a Goodyear tire on the side of the road

I once was serving a purpose but since have taken a toll

I am a Number Two pencil with wood over the lead

I'm not entirely broken but for the moment I am

For the moment I am

I've been wearing out like Levi's

I've been running to Him

Man, I've dropped the ball so many times

I've got open hands

Like a broken phone, I'm roaming

Wanna answer but can't

I am a good-willed inscription on a secondhand book

I am a haunting reminder of what the second hand took

I am a sun-soaked couch on a snow-covered porch

I was good for a moment but in the meantime ignored

In the meantime ignored

I'm in a season of silence and I can't take it no more

It's like the rug's been pulled out under me, now I see the floor

And it's rotten, creaking, shaking

It might never restore

But you tell me I'm your favorite sweater

Unlike the Rivers line, I ran away, I came together

You saw my flaws, You held my burdens, Yet You love me better

And it's because of that I face the music, face the weather

No matter what may come

No matter what I was

And even if I feel like I don't matter enough

I recall what you told me

The worth that you assign

That if I'm ever an object

It's a mirror to the sky

Reflecting who You are

Reflecting what I can be

And in my darkest moments, overpowering me

I am a brand new creation

I am grace over flesh

I am the breath of God over the dirt of the dead
