Forgetting What Lies Behind Lyrics

I've failed so many times, it's hard to bear

Regret beats on my head, without a care

So, I'll purpose in my mind, to hold fast to what is true

No more listening to lies, I know what I must do

Forgetting what lies behind, I strain toward what's ahead

Now, in Jesus I'm alive, though once was dead

I'm pressing on toward the prize, of Heaven's upward call

For the sake of Jesus Christ, I give my all

I can't take back, the hurtful things I've said

Words can kill, and I've left so many dead

Now the time has come, to stand firm with all my might

With the armor of my God, I know that I must fight

Forgetting what lies behind, I strain toward what's ahead

Now, in Jesus I'm alive, though once was dead

I'm pressing on toward the prize, of Heaven's upward call

For the sake of Jesus Christ, I give my all

All my sin, all my shame, was nailed upon the cross

All I've done, and all I've gained, I count it all as loss

All my sin, all my shame, was nailed upon the cross

All I've done, and all I've gained, I count it all as loss

All my sin, all my shame, was nailed upon the cross

All I've done, and all I've gained, I count it all as loss

Forgetting what lies behind, I strain toward what's ahead

Now, in Jesus I'm alive, though once was dead

I'm pressing on toward the prize, of Heaven's upward call

For the sake of Jesus Christ, I give my all
