circumstances improve, my heart cry remains the same today after all
these years—especially after all these years.
- The ugliness of my sin – and God’s breathtaking blanket of grace that covered it all.
- The depth of my shame – and God’s startling and awe-inspiring unconditional love.
- The bondage of my sin – and God’s freedom, loosening me from its grip for an eternity.
- The stumbling of my flesh – and now, because of Christ, I’m able to stay in step with the Holy Spirit.
I heard You calling
I felt You knocking
But I drew further from You
Everyday
I knew better
Still my heart grew colder
And I just kept on going my own way
And done with me
After all my pride
And my fall
I was so amazed
To still find You there
After all I’ve done
You still love me
After all.
Your eyes said welcome
Your arms were open
How could I ever doubt
Your love was real
You never mentioned
All my past rejections
Words can’t express the way
That makes me feel
CHORUS
To freely forgive
It’s so hard to do
But You completely forgave me
And I will spend
My whole life with You
After all,
Forever and always.
Wow. That was lovely, Cathy. You're right…we tend to forget, try to forget, put it behind us. But, there's truth and lessons and self-forgiveness in recall.
Thanks so much, Deb. I agree — there are many lessons learned when we're brave enough to look back while moving forward.
Blessings to you!!
Yes and amen. But so glad the past is not my present.
Amen, indeed Marcia! I love the way you put it…the past is not my present.
Thank You, Jesus. 🙂
I love the new look, Cathy! And I love the new focus. I can't wait to see how He stirs you 🙂
