The Old Ways

The Old Ways

It’s so, so hard to let go;
Of the old ways.
And change comes so slow.
Lord, hear me pray.

I’m weary down to the bone,
Of the old ways.
I can’t make it on my own;
help me today.

When am I to see a change;
Of the old ways?
Free me from these chains,
Teach me your way.

Please hear my plea and rid me;
Of the old ways.
Open my heart and let me see,
A brand new day.

Help me Lord to turn loose;
Of the old ways.
I know there is no excuse,
to stay this way.

Thank you Lord, you freed me;
Of the old ways.
With a heart as glad as can be,
I’ll follow you each day.
