Let us go forward to what is
And leave what’s not behind;
For our Old Adam never was
God’s plan for humankind.
He meant for us to be with Him
In circle of God’s love:
A triune likeness free from sin
With hearts shaped from above.
But we chose not to Him obey
And chose to be what’s not,
Which let the Devil have his way
And who we are forgot.
To rescue us God sent His Son
Who freely chose to come–
Was welcomed by God’s holy one:
Ties to our past undone.
Now we are free to forward go,
Become who really are;
Old Adam dies, new seed God sows,
Behind leaves what we were.
For who we were was never real;
We can’t our own truth make,
And now God’s truth in us revealed;
We leave behind self-hate.
When we love God, we love ourselves,
An image of Himself;
Through Holy Family we’re made well–
Restored to Eden’s health.
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
