All These Things That I'Ve Done

Mistakes lead to progress and progress is part of life 
No matter how big a mess nor how deep such strife
Thinking of the future in focusing on what's at hand
I'll tell you for sure, in God there's nothing too grand

When those people were hungry Jesus fed them all
He made the blind see and helped many who'd fall
Told by those He led who had witnessed so much
Heard the Words Jesus said in so feeling His Touch

So as I lay broken humbly kneeling on broken knees
I hear the Words He's Spoken responding to my pleas
Where I could only see darkness feeling such bitter cold
Each time He would Bless as I continued in growing old

Don't let your past hold you back, only wanting you near
Knowing already what you lack there needn't be any fear
Stand over your mistakes unabashedly calling them your own
The Lord will repair those aches, least that's how I've grown
