Old Things are Gone
Don’t dwell in the past,
Spring forth in the new . . .
Old things are gone;
Blessings come through.
All things are possible
As God leads the way.
Forget and forgive,
This is a new day!
Greet one another;
In God’s holy name.
Old things are gone;
New life you’ll claim.
Serve as we’re needed . . .
Any place - anywhere . . .
Love all God’s children;
You will stay in His care.
