Looking Back

Looking back in the past at the person I used to be
I just cant understand from what point of view I was trying to see

Why did I think it was cool to do stupid stuff to fit in
Most of it was wrong and purely just a Sin

I claimed to be a Christian yet was living the wrong way
Embarrassed with no excuse, for my past I know not what to say

Should I forget, remember, or simply just deny
The way I once lived was just not right

Put it behind me is all I can do for now
My God forgave me but I just dont understand how

How did he forgive me after all that I had done
I was hurting him while I thought I was having fun

But he did, his blood washed all my sins away
He died on on Calvary for us all on that day

Now forgiven I stand here before you one and all
And I pray for the strength to be strong and not fall

Looking back in the past at the person I used to be
All I see is my Lord smiling as he looks upon me
