Forgetting Those Things Which Are Behind Poem by Gary James Smith

Forgetting Those Things Which Are Behind

Last year flew by unforgettably fast
Before we knew it another day had passed
Seems the older you get the faster time flies
And another year's gone much to our surprise
So many things happening on the worlds scene
So many topics to think on... it seems

About the only constant
That really gripped my soul
Was this continual reminder
God's still in control!
He still rules from heaven above
Overseeing the order of things
Because in Him I have full confidence
My heart...still.... can truly sing!

I rest in the Word of God
Which tells me not to fret
Because of the evilness of wicked men
Who have set a destructive net
Who rail against the God of Heaven
As if they could do much better
But one day they'll be fully accountable
To the law and to the letter

But praise God for His loving grace
That even though men may spite Him
If they repent of their evil ways
He'll forgive and the Spirit will seal them
Then as trophy's of God's grace
They'll be swift to bear His name
And pray for their friends and family
Because their inside has been rearranged!

O praise You Lord for Jesus Christ
Especially for His virgin birth
Not tainted by a sinful nature
But truly the God of earth
And the God of Heaven as well
Where one day billions will be bowing their knees
And confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord
To Your honour and Your glory! ! !

Hallelujah what a Saviour!
