A NEW PLEASURE

Lyrics:

It’s like the canyon deep

Like when your breath just leaves

It’s like a the ocean floor

With teeming colors beneath

It overwhelms the faculties

It’s like one armed in flight

Riding up so high

Whirling up they dive

To feel nothing like

Nothing like you’ve felt before

It’s like a babies’ squeal

A joy in mother’s arms

It’s like the dew of Spring

Promising new life

New hope for all that’s yet to come

Chorus:

This is your love in me

A new pleasure, a new treasure

Ah, ah, it's better ah ah, than all the world can bring

I've tasted and seen, its fullness is sweet

This is your life in me

Bridge:

Your love has robbed me from the deep

From life’s greatest thief

You steal me away with new pleasure

Themes: Joy in Christ, A new life

Thoughts to consider as you listen and read through this study: We can only nullify the power of sin in our lives when its pale pleasures are eclipsed by the surpassing greatness of Christ. If we learn to see Christ this way, we begin to walk from death to life. Jesus' love continually, day-by-day, rescues us by replacing our old affections with new more pleasurable and perfect ones.
