Bridges of the Past

Burn the bridges of the past,
Build on something that will last.
Those things that you have done,
And by the blood, He remembers none.

Forgive and forget is His command,
Even though it hard for us to understand.
They serve as reminders of where we've been,
And that we were once enslaved to sin.

Move forward to our heavenly home,
And look forward to the day we will nevermore roam.
The darkness behind, the cross before,
And He through salvation did my soul restore.

Let not the bridges of the past hold you back,
Stay on the alert and ready to attack.
For this may come at any time,
So be forgiven, so you don't have to pay for the crime.
