Goodbye yesterday – Moving on from the past

I won’t waste another minute in my old ways – I’m going to make every second count.
Praise the Lord I’ve been born again – Jesus has made me new. I’m born again.
Again and again and again and again – He rescues us over and over. He never stops.
You rescued me out of the mess I was in – Jesus does the rescuing and prior to Him, we were a MESS.
Traded my sorrow for something to sing – We can exchange all our trouble for His song.
I’m dancing on the grave that I once lived in – We’ve overcome the grave because of Jesus.
I have decided To follow Jesus – reinforces the commitment to walk in the way of Jesus.
The world behind The cross before I won’t turn back – I’m committed to the cross of Jesus and the way of Jesus and I’m not going back.
Praise the Lord, I’ve been born again – Confession of what Jesus has accomplished for us.
