The Old Covenant carved law into stone, but it could never free us from sin’s grip. The New Covenant, sealed in the blood of Jesus and confirmed in His resurrection, does what the law could not: it writes God’s truth directly on our hearts. This song is a reminder that salvation isn’t earned by works, rituals, or endless striving. It’s received through faith, repentance, and belief in the finished work of Christ. From the torn veil at Calvary to the Spirit’s indwelling, we stand free and secure in Him alone.
Lyrics
Verse 1 – The Old CovenantStone was carved with holy law,Blood of lambs could never thaw,Year by year the altar cried,But sin still chained us deep inside.
Pre-ChorusWe tried and tried, but we all would fall,The law was a mirror, not a cure at all.
Chorus – The New CovenantNow it’s written on my heart,Not on tablets set apart.Faith in Jesus, nailed and raised,The spotless Lamb who took my place.No more striving, no more cost,His blood was enough — I am not lost.
Verse 2 – The CrossOn the hill the curtain tore,Grace came running, chains no more.Once for all the debt was paid,Mercy triumphed, love displayed.
Pre-ChorusNot by works, not by law we stand,But by the blood of the Son of Man.
Chorus – The New CovenantNow it’s written on my heart,Not on tablets set apart.Faith in Jesus, nailed and raised,The spotless Lamb who took my place.No more striving, no more cost,His blood was enough — I am not lost.
BridgeRepent, believe, and you’ll be free,The gift of God is victory.Resurrection sealed the claim,Salvation rests in Jesus’ name.
Final Chorus (repeat/anthemic)Now it’s written on my heart,Not on tablets set apart.Faith in Jesus, nailed and raised,The spotless Lamb who took my place.No more striving, no more cost,His blood was enough — I am not lost.
OutroFaith alone, His grace defines,The New Covenant is mine.
