My Past Is Over

My past is over
I am a new creature
I cannot go back to my sinful ways
Cause it was really awful out there

Now I know what it is to be in  the light
Cause it was really dark out there
But now I have a reliable companion
Who points the way for me to follow

It was a life of drudgery and misery
Today I live richly on   God’s blessings
Once upon a time it was a life of persecution and false accusations
Today It is time to show the proceeds of victory

In the years past
I was held bound by forces of darkness
But now I have been delivered from the miry clay
What a beauty to walk with the lord in the spirit

I can now hear Him speak to me clearly on every issue
A river of peace flows in my being
Contentment glows in my heart and soul
He has put an end to my past and given birth to my future!
