The Day We Die
You cannot change the past my friend no matter how you try
For what is done is done my friend until the day you die
But one thing can be certain if you place your trust in God
No matter where you've been before He'll change the path you trod
For God is not beholden to the things we understand
But holds all things in common in the power of His hands
All time and space together are the making of His will
And what they were or will become are in His power still
For yes though you've been sinful in the past you've lived before
The past that left you in disgrace and often closed the door
To others of your loved ones or the future you had planned
It still holds no conclusion in the power of God's hands
For He Who made you something of the nothing you once were
Who saw you from forever with a love you can't detour
Has power to transform you to what He would have you be
A child of royal piety for all eternity
A person with no record of one sin back in your past
As all you've done is hidden when upon your soul is cast
His robe of spotless righteousness that wipes your sins away
With blood He spilt on Calvary that crucifixion day
And as He surely promised in the body of His Word
No record of your sinful past is ever to be heard
When standing there in judgement with your Saviour at God's throne
He wraps His arm around you as His blood bought purchased own
And there declares beside you for the universe to hear
My blood My blood My Father on this precious one so dear
Who once a sheep was wandering without a hope to see
That they were just a single step from being one with Me
That step that bowed before Me with one simple little prayer
That spoke though small and feeble with a humble heart right there
And asked for My forgiveness for the things that they had done
And took Me at My promise that in You we could be one
So that through all eternity the planned we planned for them
Might be fulfilled so perfectly through Us in her or him
As all will live most joyously with nothing left to hide
As what they once were is no more since on my cross it died
1 Corinthians 15:31; Micah 7:18, 19; Revelation 7:13-17
