Gone are the things that I
once knew...
old, worn, and comfortable,
like dad's old shoes.
Some things I cherish.
Some things still sting.
But truly the most amazing thing—
Gone are my burdens
now left
with the Lord.
His peace, His comfort,
my shield,
my sword.
He's gently cut out
and replaced
with His love,
all things that hinder
my journey above.
The path has been difficult,
rocky, and steep,
but there's no other love
that runs so deep.
The life I now live
on the cross
He did pay.
And He set my sights
on a brand new day.
I've never regretted
the things I've let go
His love is worth
all this pain down below,
And He has replaced
with His peace of mind all of the things
I've left behind. *
