In present if we are to be content
We also must be so about our past,
For it must be redeemed with our consent:
Be taken into what forever lasts.
Our mem’ries by forgiveness must be bathed
In Blood that’s shed by God’s Begotten Son,
Then in them what He chooses will be raised
To live forever in His triumph won.
In heaven all our past will always live
Forever present in eternity
In His Son’s new creation Father gives,
And past is from our sin forever free.
This means in present we can His joy know
As we now bask in heaven’s morning glow
