 when old elements are gone and new are added;
 Am                           D
It's organic, metabolic;

When in spirit we are filled
                C                        D              Bm-Em

We're conformed into
C
His image we express
                D
Like the Firstborn Son of God,
 Bm                                                  Em
We become His duplicates and as His counterpart,
                        C                                 D
But we need to be sanctified, be purified
              Em                         Em/D                         A
All our idols must be torn down, set aside
              C                                  A7                            G
In the church life we should leave the world behind.
 
2. Natural choices He allows
Because of human needs but not in our way and time,
But for His purpose and His own plan.
Yet experience would require
One day you need to choose between "the mother and child",
gain or loss, death or birth?
The loss of heart's desire,
Though you paid such a great price
With her, treasured up your life
Through the years of joy and pride,
Prized the son brought forth by her,
It's a choice that breaks your heart.
But in losing you have gained what He desires;
In the church life, we should lose our natural life.

3. Oh Lord, open up our eyes
to see Your sovereign hand behind our circumstances,
A divine view to look at losses;
From being natural we would cease,
Our situations we would change
From sorrow to praise, to the Christ who is
Exalted to the right hand
of His majesty on high
Who are worthy to be praised
Our victorious, glorious Christ.
Lord, we set our eyes on You,
Gain our hearts,
Grow in us, more of life to us impart.
In Your image we're conformed and with You, Lord,
we would reign in life.

(Verse 1)
There was once in Jacob's life
When he was left alone
A man wrestled with him that night
They fought til the break of dawn
The man saw He could not win
So He touched Jacob's hip
That blow had disabled him
From then on he began to limp.

(Pre-Chorus)
Yet he held on to this man,
A man unseen, unknown
He held Him tight, would not let go
Until the blessing he bestows.

(Chorus)
I’ve been wrestling with the One,
Who never leaves, who never runs,
Touch my life, break my pride,
To my self Lord I have died
I’m broken now in my old life
I stop all struggling and strife
Lord, I’ll never be the same,
I limp, yet I have gained a new name.

(Verse 2)
Long the years of constant dealing
Yet my natural life remained
Planning, scheming, self-expressing
Still so full of my old name
Then You touched the strongest sinew
You made a big change in my life

I am broken yet I found You
You’re the strength of my new life

(Pre-Chorus)
I was shattered, I was broken
Now I see you face to face
That sight could ne'er be forgotten
All pride I now abase

(Chorus)
I’ve been wrestling with the One,
Who never leaves, who never runs,
Touch my life, break my pride,
To my self Lord I have died
I’m broken now in my old life
I stop all struggling and strife
Lord, I’ll never be the same,
I limp, yet I have gained a new name.

(Bridge)
Touch my thigh, O Lord, I pray
Deal with me, Lord, have Your way
Let me lean not on my strength
By Your grace I'll go the length
Make my steps forever limped
Proof that I have truly glimpsed
Of Peniel—Your shining face
Brightly beaming full of grace

(Chorus)
I’ve been wrestling with the One,
Who never leaves, who never runs,
Touch my life, break my pride,
To my self Lord I have died
I’m broken now in my old life
I stop all struggling and strife

Lord, I’ll never be the same,
I limp, yet I have gained a new name.

(Outro)
I limp, yet I have gained a new name.
I limp, and I’ll never be the same.

Being Broken

Ako ay Pinili (Tagalog version of I Know I’m Chosen)

1. Hinirang ng Ama nung una pa, 
Sa karamihan ay nakita N’ya.
Di gawang kaya, ni pagsisikap
Kundi’y habag Nya’t pag-ibig, walang-hanggan.

Chorus:
O biyaya’t habag
Na mahagkan Niya ang tulad nating salat;
‘Sina-ayos N’ya ang lahat,
Kanyang paghirang ay di-mapantayan.
Sa’ Kanyang dunong at layong walang hanggan. (Aleluyah!)
Ako’y pinili, sa pag-ibig hinirang.

2. Gaya ni Jacob na marupok,
Ngunit batid N’ya ang ating daan.
No’y mandaraya, ngayo’y biyaya
Buhay may saysay, atin nang natunton.

3. Itinakda tayong Kanyang anak,
Pinagpalang maging Kanyang galak. 
Noo’y pinili, ngayon ay binihag—
Siya ay susundan, magpasawalang-hanggan.

Being Dealt with

1. All these years I've been struggling in vain;
Bitter trials have long squeezed my soul.
Everything just seems tangled and bleak.
Then at night, when on my knees,
With weary heart I cried aloud,
A comforting whisper I hear so warmly speaks...

"O My child, you're in My loving hand;
My heart is truly good for you.
I've prepared all the best—discipline, dealings too— 
For the one whom I've called and do tenderly love,
That you may be fully transformed for My house
(That you may be fully transformed for My house)."

2. Now I see my dear Lord is with me,
And He's sov'reign over all things;
Hence to Him I surrender my days.
Work on me as You have planned,
So that I may gain You the most!
What sweet compensation God is as He conveys...
