Why am I always looking back
When I should look ahead. My future is filled with His grace,
But I look back instead
At years and years of pain and sin
That I have left behind.
My Savior has forgiven me,
But they weigh on my mind.
I’m not sure why I hold them close,
Those sins of yesterday,
They hold me back from moving on
They linger in my way.
Perhaps the one who thrives on sin
Wants to keep me close still,
But He who has forgiven them
Claims me, and always will.
So I must find a way to stop
Looking behind at them,
To turn my eyes from my past sins
And focus them on Him
Until the day they lose the pull
That they now hold on me.
If my Savior’s forgiven them,
Then I must let them be.
