Leaving the Past Behind

I'm leaving the past behind me I'm casting hurts into the sea I'm giving my regrets to God Who guides me with His staff and rod I'm leaving the past behind me I'm releasing painful memories To Jesus, I commit my past On Him, my sin and shame, I cast I stepped upon the shore of hope No longer am I bound by ropes Christ has unravelled the tight knots My battles, He has bravely fought I was a captive bound in chains Broken by hurts, filthy with shame For my sins, I could not atone I was in anguish and alone But through the cross, Christ set me free My past has now no hold on me My future is glowing bright For I am walking in the light
