Don’t live in the shadow
Of yesterday’s sin;
The Father forgave you
And cleansed you within.
Its failure can warn you
But must not prevent
Your willingly doing
The tasks you were sent.
Don’t let the old devil
Sneak in and deceive;
He whispers his folly
But do not believe.
His lies are to keep you
From knowing God’s grace,
So tell him to leave you
And show him his place.
You’ll sometimes be tempted
When consequence comes
To think you’re still guilty
As courage succumbs,
But God is your Father
And loves you too much
To let sin bring blessing
And seem like a crutch.
The day you confessed it
And turned from your sin,
God fully forgave you
And brought you back in.
Its under Christ’s blood now –
You’re free from its shame.
The guilt has been canceled;
No fear can remain.
So live in the freedom
That Jesus has bought
Who died to redeem you
And cleanse every spot.
You’re free to do right through
The Name of the Lord –
Rise up now to serve Him
And claim His reward.
