Forget and Forgive

Sitting here day by day
Time slips silently away
Thinking of what should have been
Wishing for what could have been
Wasting thought and emotion
On sins that God cast into the ocean
He forgets when He forgives
Yet we hold on and refuse to live
Sin can be fun for a season
As God warned us with reason
For man will hold on with an iron grip
Rather than abandon a sinking ship
Our foolish wisdom and selfish guilt
Can not fathom the grace that God built
He sent His Son the Holy one to walk and die with us
The sacrifice perfect and sinless to trust
Yet we feel the need to wallow
In self punishment so hollow
Let go of what God has forgiven
Let the blood of Christ bring his peace from heaven
