Dead Reckoning - Petra

It’s a new day at last, but you’re sinking so fast

If left up to your head, you’d remember the past

But a new day has come and new life has begun

Let the old pass away, reconsider it done

There’s got to be a reckoning

When you feel the Spirit beckoning

It’s a dead reckoning

Trade the old for the new

It’s a dead reckoning

Learn to die daily till the new life comes through

It’s a dead reckoning

You’ve got nothing to lose but you do have to choose

When the Spirit says yes but the flesh wil lrefuse

And although you feel odd there are many who trod

Till they’re dead to the world but alive unto God

Some still believe it can’t be done

To the steady the race is still won

And the battle is already through

And it’s hard to believe but it’s true

On a hill long ago where the blood runs below

Died a King, two thieves, and you
