Looking Back
I can look back and see my life
Its like a story book with tales of strife
The mistakes were made and now in the past
But memories haunt and can hurt so bad.
Sometimes I think what it would be like
To not remember the book so well
to think of good things will do me well.
Jesus says He forgives and forgets
the things of the past He tossed in the sea
no longer to haunt or bother thee.
Its me I know who won't let go
but how can this be inside of me.
I know Jesus is here helping me walk
sometimes I'm scared and decide not to talk.
Then He helped me to know
the past I need to let go
leave it where it is He says
I will lead you on instead
take my Hand and we will run
to win the prize is Heaven bound
my hand in yours is where you'll be found
letting me lead is in your heart
we are one and we'll never part.
Take is slow and remember I won't let go
I'll call you home when your mission is done
and together we'll walk the streets of gold
I love you forever
in any kind of weather
so let go now and leave it with me
remember that I tossed it all in the Sea.
