rewritten.

i was cleaning up My Documents the other day, deleting old files and moving others back to where they belonged, when i found something that i had not looked at for a very long time. just reading the lyrics brought back floods of memories and i was very glad that i had kept it.

A Whole New World

God had made the world,
Shining, shimmering, splendid,
But we sinned and disobeyed God,
Turned our backs on him.

He loved us so much,
He sent his Son to save us,
Alone, despised and rejected
Christ was crucified for us.

If we believe,
Christ died so we could be set free,
That he, the Son of God, rose from the dead,
We will live eternally.

A whole new world,
This is what heaven's going to be:
There'll be no crying, no more pain,
We will praise God fallen on our knees.

Unbelievable sights, indescribable beauty,
Pearls and diamonds, gold and silver,
Abundant as the stars!

A whole new world,
This is what heaven's going to be:
There'll be no crying, no more pain,
We will praise God fallen on our knees.

A whole new world,
Through Jesus Christ we will be
Living in heaven- Over death
We now have the final victory!

Complicated

Verse:
Chill out, what you tryin to do?
Lay back, it's all been done for you,
And if you will only believe, you will see,
You can't change the way you are,
Or things, you've done in your past,
You can't save yourself, why don't you call for help?
You think you're okay, but you're gonna pay, you're so full of sin, deep within,
You think you are fine, but you're gonna die, oh please tell me!

Chorus:
Why'd you have to go make things so complicated?
Can't you see that trying to be good will only get you frustrated?
It's like this, he. He died on a cross and if you believe, only then you're saved,
Nothing you can do to earn your way to heaven, no no no.

Verse:
We sin, it's a part of us, guess what? the Lord our God is just,
And He can't allow us to live, must be punished,
But Christ, the perfect sacrifice, He came on the earth to die,
And if you believe, you can have eternal life,
But you think you're okay, so you're gonna pay, you are full of sin, deep within,
You think you are fine, but you're gonna die, oh please tell me!

Chorus:
Why'd you have to go make things so complicated?
Can't you see that trying to be good will only get you frustrated?
It's like this, he. He died on a cross and if you believe, only then you're saved,
Nothing you can do to earn your way to heaven, no no no.
