PAST DOES NOT MATTER.

As you stand at the door of heaven
You can so easily enter within,
For our loving God gave us forgiveness,
So we can start afresh and be with Him.

However dark the path that was trod,
Whatever depth of hell been known,
He’ll be there, your burden to take
As each of the sins are overthrown.

Then the past is behind and forgotten
By the one who washed away sin,
Learn of His love and kindness,
Learn how to let Him enter in.

You will see God in a wonderful sunset,
His great love in a tiny, sweet flower,
His tears of joy for your repentance
In a warm, gentle summer shower.

God loves all his dear children,
So seek out pure and simple things,
Seek out honesty and the truth,
Find Christ yourself, the joy it brings

God has a place in heaven so bright,
A mansion for every seeking child,
It is never too late to seek and to find
The Saviour and friend of all mankind.
