I’ve put it all behind me, Lord,
Though some of it won’t stay.No matter how hard I might try
Some pasts get in my way.
They pop up out of nowhere, Lord,
Then beat me to my knees.
I try to push myself back up,
Hoping the pain will ease.
It isn’t until I call You,
Praying that You will hear,
That I can rise up from my knees
To find You standing near.
Then I can strain forward again
Along the sacred way,
And put behind me, one more time,
The sins of yesterday.
Philippians 3:13-14
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
