Forward

Traveling backwards with each step I take forward

Wondering why I can’t move ahead, I cry out to the Lord

Past becomes the present over and over again

I become trapped back into the same sin

Why God, I thought I was through

Thought that that was something I would never again do

Searching for the answer, you whisper to me

“I want you to be free

My child I can make you new

With all your troubles you can be through

You have not surrendered it all

You do not trust me to catch you when you fall

Give it up, you cannot do it yourself

I am here, I will be your help

It will be hard but don’t give up

You surviving is love not luck

You do not have to do that anymore

That is what I died for”

God I cry out, I let it go

Let go of the strongholds, the sorrow

Never be bound again by these chains

For when I desire to fall, I will call upon your name

I will never give up on me, on you

For you have showed me what to do

I will not go back to what was

No matter what the devil does

So with each step I take I step forward

“Now you can move ahead” says the Lord
