Lyrics

When I ‘m told that I still am who I used to be
When my mind is cluttered with memories of defeat
When accusations of my past block and hinder me
When internal tapes and thoughts are stuck on repeat

I can say

In the wonderful, powerful,
merciful, name of Jesus
I don’t accept that
I won’t accept that anymore!

When the fears and the challenges
Overwhelm and cloud my days
When I’m told to identify with old and dying ways
And listen to what darkness says

I can say

In the wonderful, powerful,
merciful, name of Jesus
I don’t accept that!
I won’t accept that anymore!

I can call upon the finished work done on my behalf
I can tuck into the arms of my loving Father God
I can rest in the promises that Jesus won for me
I can thrive In the love that set me free

I can say, my gracious Lord and King
In Your name please remind me of everything you’ve done
The glory of Your Son, the battle that was won
The race I’m called to run and how you’ve overcome
Everything - I used to be

When the lies of the enemy keep on telling me
To cower in the shame of what I used to be
I can say I don’t accept that I just won’t accept that anymore
In the wonderful, powerful, merciful, name of Jesus
I’m forever free
