Forgetting What Lies Behind

Forgetting now what lies behind
We see Who for us lies ahead:
Upon the altar more than sign–
He’s Jesus risen from the dead.

In Body, Blood to us He comes,
And we toward future with Him turn
As in us He will now become
The one from whom we’ll wisdom learn. 

Our desert’s changed into His streams
As living water through us flows,
And earth no longer what it seemed
But door to heaven we now know.

For He who’s lifted high above
Created all for His new life
That gives to us His perfect love
And shines in each His Father’s light.
