Questionable deeds
Of our sinful past.
Where does this lead
One may ask?
The thoughts of the past can
Put tremendous strain on us.
Leading to a life of chaos
That makes us go nuts.
To eventually consume us
With negative thoughts
And destroy potential;
Tie us up in knots.
But God knows all
That we have done
So He sent a Redeemer
So new life is begun.
So we can come clean
From all the sorrows
Of a regretful past
To better tomorrows.
From a hopeless life
That is turned around;
To a life of believing;
Receiving the crown.
Seeing the light
And being changed
By an amazing power
That is exchanged.
Through the blood of the Lamb;
Stepping ahead by confessing.
Accepting this new life in Christ
And receiving the blessing.
Leaving our uncertain past
On the old rugged Cross
And beginning a clean slate
That puts Him as the boss.
Blessing us with victories
Since the load is much lighter
So we run at full speed
To a future that is brighter.
Momentum is gained daily;
The path no longer obscured
And through Jesus Christ,
The great victory is assured.

A Questionable deed of our past will continue to interfere with our present to wear us down and consume our thoughts but by confessing; by leaving it on the Cross and beginning a clean slate we gain momentum for victory. This poem inspires us to let go of the past and step ahead by accepting the amazing grace of God.
