"I Will Go On"

Bill and Gloria Gaither are two of the most prolific songwriters of our time. Their music always speaks to the real "issues" of life for me.

I remember hearing this powerful piece more than twenty years ago, and I've been wanting to post it for a long time. Now is that time:

I repent for moments I have spent
Recalling all the pain and failures of my past.
I repent for dwelling on the things
Beyond my power to change
The chains that held me fast.

I will go on
My past I leave behind me
I gladly take His mercy and His love.
He is joy and He is peace
He is strength and sweet release
I know He is, and I am His
I will go on.

I give up the bitterness and hate
And blaming men and fate
For all my discontent.
The guilt and pain I empty from my cup
So God can fill it up
With peace and sweet content.

I will go on
My past I leave behind me,
I gladly take His mercy and His love!
He is joy and He is peace,
He is strength and sweet release.
I know He is, and I am His,
I will go on!

Many thanks to this legendary duo for reminding us of how great our God really is, and that He is and I am His....

There are days..sometimes many of them, when I have to be reminded of this powerful, powerful truth.

I will go on.
