As I sit here thinking of the life that I have led,
I think of all the things I’ve done and all the things I’ve said.
I think about the paths I chose that brought me to this spot.
I think of all the things I am and all the things I’m not.
But when it all is said and done and I journey on my way,
I know it’s not about what I was, but what I am today.
It’ not about the things I’ve said, or how I used to be.
It’s all about the life I lived, once Jesus set me free.
I’ve come to understand myself a lot better than before.
I’m filled with peace and joy and hope for all the things in store.
For when I reach my heavenly home and walk on streets of gold,
It will be about my brand new life and not my days of old.
