Now and then an old friend of mine,  I've not seen for some time,  Will stop by and ask me where I been,  What's on my mind.  They wonder why I'm not drinkin',  And still painting this old town red.  I tell them I'm serving Jesus now,  And the old man is dead    [Chorus:]    And the man you see before you,  May look a lot the same,  I may wear the same clothes,  And have the same old name.  But you're looking' on the outside,  If you could see inside instead,  You would see a brand new man,  Cause the old man is dead.  I used to live such a wicked life,  I had no peace inside.  I was lost in darkness,  Searching for the light.  Then one night in a little church,  After hearin' what the preacher said,  I gave my life to Jesus,  And the old man is dead.    [Chorus]
