Don’t let the past define you
But your eyes of faith provide you
Hope for each new day
Let the lessons teach you
But not the pain beseech you
To fall into doubt or dismay
Let your heart be renewed
Through the grace He gives to you
As He washes yesterday away
A secret way by which You lead
Off the beaten path
Where no other traveler has set foot
Just You and I together at last
A place where You tell me
Of things long ago
And give me glimpses
Of where we’ll go
We sit by a stream
to refresh and renew
Where I bask in Your presence
And give my praise to You
