New creature, Shine as a City on a Hill

New creature, shine as a city on a hill

Giving to Him all glory, honour and praise

Eat His word; make it your home and your fill

 

Child of God, give Him pleasure all of your days

Christian, train to reign with the Master Saviour

At all times, let your life an anthem raise

 

Commune with Him who is your Intercessor

Who daily pleads your case with God Almighty;

Who took away your sins and is your doctor

 

He a good God, God of integrity

Forever the same, abundant in goodness

Beautiful beyond compare, great in mercy

 

Unceasing to you is His loving kindness

Just keep living for Him as a good witness.
