I Want A New Covenant

[Verse 1]
Ay ay ay
I want a new covenant -- one the Lord made them list
When they wrote Luke and Matthew and Mark
I think He feels — we need this
I want a new covenant -- one that Moses never had
One that won't make me have to die
Whenever I -- do bad

[Chorus 1]
One they don't base on service
One that God pursued
One that's first revealed by that Jeremiah dude
In 31 and 2

[Verse 2]
I want a new covenant -- blood it was spilled
On an old cross for us -- on top of a hill
I want a new covenant -- one that won't go away
One the Lord's keepin' up on high
One the world may receive by faith

[Chorus 2]
None of us may deserve this
'Cause of stuff we do
But God made a deal I can't easily refuse
And God is always true
God alone is true, baby

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
I want a new covenant -- no one does what they should
No, we don't, babe, 'cause we're too bad
But it won't break 'cause He's too good
I want a new covenant -- honey, don't doubt
When your old ways they lock you up
Amazing grace breaks out

[Chorus 3]
I don't wanna scrape the surface
I know what to do
I wanna re-read Hebrews 9:15 right now with you
There's quite a lot in Hebrews
Might as well read through, yeah yeah
