I think back
On the days
I was writing my own story
Got reminders still before me
Of mistakes
That I made �?? and my
Heart is just so heavy �?? with the
Moments I'm regretting
Oh but I believe
He has rescued me
All the guilt, and all the shame
And the darkness of my yesterdays - will
Fade - as the light comes flooding in
I'm finding
Grace
To wash away the man I've been
Can't change my history
Or shake who I used to be
But a little more each day
I'm watching shadows
Fade
In my head
I believe
He is greater than my ugly
Overcomer of my stumbling
But in my heart
It's hard see
But he is faithful to remind me
That the things that are behind me
Fade - as the light comes flooding in
I'm finding
Grace
To wash away the man I've been
Can't change my history
Or shake who I used to be
But a little more each day
I'm watching shadows
Fade
I'm not who I want to be
I'm not who I'm gonna be
I'm watching who I used to be
Fade
