So Long

For so long
I built a house of shame and locked the door
The only day I ever lived was the day before
The future looked like past and nothing more
But not anymore
For so long
I bought every lie the enemy sold me
Shackles of my sin, I let him hold me
Thought I'd always only ever be the old me
That was the old me

So long
I'm leaving yesterday where it belongs
The Devil thought he won, but he was wrong
This child of God is finally moving on
So hear me say "so long"

To all the guilt I used to hang on to
Now I'm hanging on to what I know is true
The old is gone and I've been made new
Now I'm singing hallelujah

So long
I'm leaving yesterday where it belongs
The Devil thought he won, but he was wrong
This child of God is finally moving on
So hear me say "so long"

So long, guilty
So long, broken
So long, judgment, the cross has spoken
So long, prison
Slave no longer
Sin was strong but grace was stronger
So long, guilty
So long, broken
So long, judgment, the cross has spoken
So long, prison
Slave no longer
Sin was strong but grace was stronger

So long
I'm leaving yesterday where it belongs
The Devil thought he won, but he was wrong
This child of God is finally moving on
So hear me say "so long"
So long
I'm leaving yesterday where it belongs
The Devil thought he won, but he was wrong
This child of God is finally moving on
So hear me say "so long"

So long, guilty
So long, broken
So long, judgment, the cross has spoken
So long, prison
Slave no longer
Sin was strong, but grace was stronger
