NO LONGER LIVE IN THE PAST

I NO LONGER LIVE IN THE PAST
NO LONGER WORRY ABOUT WHAT I'V DONE
BECAUSE I FOUND TRUE LOVE AT LAST
AND THE LORDS LOVE I HAVE WON

WHEN I WAS LOST SO DEEP IN SIN
I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN
JESUS KNEW I NEEDED HIM
BUT THIS I HAD TO LEARN

ONE DAY I WENT TO HIM
AND ASK HIM INTO MY HEART
HE TOLD ME THERE HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
IT WAS ME THAT KEEPED US APART

HE TOLD ME ALL HE WOULD DO
JUST TRUST IN HIM AND I WILL FIND
THAT HIS LOVE IS FOREVER TRUE
AND A FAR MORE LASTING KIND

JESUS I KNOW WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE
BECAUSE I SEE IT EVERYDAY
NEVER AGAIN WILL I BE BLUE
NOW YOU IN MY HEART TO STAY
