Old Things

I like to think I'm a young man
Big dreams, big plans
I tell myself that I have got it all together
Never been one just to hold on
Look back too long
I'm the kind that thinks
That what's ahead is better

So, it should come as no surprise
I know that when it comes to living in Christ

Why would I settle for the old things
When there is so much more in front of me
And I can see that
My heart is taking on a new thing
I'm loving the way, I'm loving the change
So, I won't settle for the old things
Why would I settle for the old things

I know that I've been forgiving
Of the old man and the old sin
Grace looks at me
As if it nеver even happеned
I'm surely not who I could be
I just know I'm free
And what His mercy did
For me is everlasting

He covered me with redeeming glow
I know He's leaving no trace
Of the man that I was

Why would I settle for the old things
When there is so much more in front of me
And I can see that
My heart is taking on a new thing
I'm loving the way, I'm loving the change
So, I won't settle for the old things
Why would I settle for the old things

I still hear voices calling me
They've had their say
They've had their day
They think I'm still the way I used to be
They don't realize I've changed
And nothing is the same

Why would I settle for the old things
When there is so much more in front of me
And I can see that
My heart is taking on a new thing
I'm loving the way, I'm loving the change
So, I won't settle for the old things, no
Why would I settle for the old things
