Del Way – The Old Man Is Dead lyrics
Now and then an old friend of mine,
I've not seen for some time,
Will stop by and ask me where I been,
What's on my mind.
They wonder why I'm not drinkin',
And still painting this old town red.
I tell them I'm serving Jesus now,
And the old man is dead

[Chorus:]

And the man you see before you,
May look a lot the same,
I may wear the same clothes,
And have the same old name.
But you're looking' on the outside,
If you could see inside instead,
You would see a brand new man,
Cause the old man is dead.
I used to live such a wicked life,
I had no peace inside.
I was lost in darkness,
Searching for the light.
Then one night in a little church,
After hearin' what the preacher said,
I gave my life to Jesus,
And the old man is dead.

[Chorus:]

    The old man is dead refers to the life that we all should live in christ jesus. When we accept him into our lives and soul we accept a change. This change is the purpose of the song. Jesus christ take and old man your sinning dirty soul and washes it with blood and makes it white as snow, without bumps, bruises, or blemishes. The old man inside you is gone and there is anew man in jesus instead who guides you with promise and hope. I pray that any one of you who listens to this song may find the hope and the promise of jesus christ that your old man can be dead and the brand new man in you shall show. May god bles you all.
