It’s one thing to look back in joy
On how blessed life has been,
But it is something else indeed
To anguish over sin.
That He has washed away,
Belittles the great gift He gave
On Calvary that day,
Repentance you are free.
Stop turning back to remember
The shame that used to be.
The Word He gave to man,
And with joy, step forward into
The Lord’s call and His plan.
Keep your focus ahead,
Straining forward toward the prize
That is His love, instead.
But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and
straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize
of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
