Lyrics I Want a New Covenant - ApologetiX

I Want a New Covenant

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
One they don’t base on service
One that God pursued
One that’s first revealed by that Jeremiah dude
In 31 and 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
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
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
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
