Remembering No More

 

I laid my sins before the Lord,
They numbered beyond count,
And He poured out His grace on me
Like a swift flowing fount.
 
I see them still, when I look back,
Then shudder at the shame
That I could have lived such a life,
And still, His mercy, claim.
 
How could it be that one so pure
Would not just cast away
A world of sinners, scarred by shame,
Who chose to go astray.
 
Yet, since I turned back, called His name,
Declared Him to be Lord,
I’ve watched those scars heal, one by one.
His mercy’s my reward.
 
I cannot wait to see the day
When all my scars have healed,
All sin behind me, and His Light
Is completely revealed.
 
Until then I’ll count my blessings
Praising Him, Heaven’s King,
For His forgiveness of my sins,
And not remembering.
 
Hebrews 10:16-17
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,” then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
