Fact Check
As we head into 2025, what better message to kick off the year with than to encourage your listeners to leave the past in the past. GOODBYE YESTERDAY! 2024 was a dumpster fire of a year as all election years are. 😳 As Jesus followers, we’ve been completely transformed from death to life and it’s essential that we trust Jesus with our pasts and move forward into new life. This song reminds everyone of how we can do this AND is uptempo and high energy which is what every PD wants coming out of Christmas music, right?
Goodbye yesterdayI’m living in the light of a new day
I won’t waste another minute in my old waysPraise the Lord I’ve been born again
Again and again and again and againYou rescued me out of the mess I was inTraded my sorrow for something to singI’m dancing on the grave that I once lived in
