I have an new identity,
I have buried the "old" man;
I am a new creation,
you may not understand.
I look and walk as me,
I even sound the same;
but the carnal man is gone,
and I've myself to blame.
My old self was but flesh;
full of this old worldly sin;
to that I've said good-bye,
cast aside where I have been.
I've taken up the Holy Spirit,
made God,  first in my life;
I got the peace I needed,
nullified the earthly strife.
Gave my burdens up to Jesus,
He's forgiven all of I've done;
now I'm a Christian soldier,
putting Satan on the run.
