Lyrics

I Ain't Myself, Lord, I'm Something New
Parody of “I Have Myself for Loving You” performed by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts written by Joan Jett & Desmond Child
(2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 6:1-14)

Ow! Uh!

It's nice gettin' advice straight from You
You said You'd lead me; I'm escorted to truth
I know I'll hang in, but I'm still one of few
Faith had its impact — no stoppin' it now
I've spurned my past — no more messin' around
I'm now seen as zealous — tote Thy Book in black or brown

I synched with You, and it's night and day
You know, life started to look up right away

I ain't myself, Lord, I'm somethin' new
Can't take glee from the things I used to
I'm on the rock — got a romantic view
That's why I ain't myself, Lord, I'm somethin' new

Ow! Uh!

They might spend their lives without You
But I've been grievin' 'bout their loss if they do
I'm opening an angle, tried to tell 'em what's the truth
Vain man, says he can't receive Christ
They just don’t know Second Corinthians 5
Verse 17's amazin' —they could get a brand new life

I synched with You, and it's night and day
You know, life started to look up right away

I ain't myself, Lord, I'm somethin' new
Can't take glee from the things I used to
I'm on the rock — got a Romans 6 view
That's why I ain't myself, Lord, I'm somethin' new

Ow! Uh!

I synched with You, and it's night and day
You know, life started to look up right away

I ain't myself, Lord, I'm somethin' new
Can't take glee from the sins I pursued
I'm on the rock — What's in Romans 6:2?
That's why I ain't myself, Lord, I'm somethin' new

I ain't myself, Lord, I'm somethin' new
Can't take glee from the sins I pursued
I'm on the rock — What's in Romans 6:2?
That's why I ain't myself, Lord, I'm somethin' new

I ain't myself — Ow! Uh!
I'm somethin' new
All right I ain't myself — Ow! Uh!
I'm somethin' new
I ain't myself — Ow! Ow! Ow!
I'm somethin' new
I ain't myself — Ow! Uh!
I ain't myself, Lord — I'm somethin' new

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
