Living in the past,
is so easy to do . . .
it’s not hard to recall
the bad things done to you.
Letting go is not so simple,
there’s no effort in hanging on
and to forget the past images
takes an awful lot of brawn.
So, we live with the despair,
the heartaches and the pain
and the peace God promised
our misery will only drain.
It’s not until we come,
to a place where we forgive
that we find the tranquility
in which God wants us to live.
So, if you are in the shackles,
which bind you to the past
let Jesus release your burden
and you’ll be free at last!

“Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee:
he shall never suffer the
righteous to be moved.”
