I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God
I tried opening gates and digging those ancient wells quite a lot
But it wore me out, [C]
it [G] just wore me out
[D] So I quit being a low man so I could be [C] God's man
I stopped all my striving, now I've been crucified [G] with Christ, [D] with Christ
We are [G] a new covenant people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation
God's special [D] possession, poured out [E] of darkness into His [G] wonderful light
[D] We are [G] a new covenant people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation
God's special [D] possession, poured out of darkness into His [G] wonderful light
[Em] All the heavens are open, [G] the wells are springing
[D] For two thousand years [Em] there's been an outpouring
And it's bigger, it's bigger [G] than a series of meetings
[D] It's all over the earth, [D] it's all over the earth
We are [G] a new covenant people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation
God's special [D] possession, poured out of darkness into His [G] wonderful light
