Hurts of the past become entwined.
They clutter our vision and destroy our mind.
Once in awhile, we take them out,
Dust them off, and put them high upon a shelf.
As time passes so quickly, you can see
They have come back to haunt oneself.
We may run into an old friend
An unkind word is spoken and doom sets in.
Then clutter, once more, is ours again.
Clouded memories of deceit, lies, and lost trust
Belong to Jesus and need to be healed.
For, an inner peace will come if only you're willing
To let it all go and let love be instilled.
The Great Physician will come and set you free.
The past is over and all of its hurts and doubts are gone.
A new life's beginning and a brand new dawn.
Please, let go of the past and let God heal you.
He can and will restore all the beauty of life
And make you brand new.
