Sing to Jesus


I’ve been seeing a theme in the blogs I’ve been reading.  

It’s this theme of letting go.


Each person has their own take and perspective on it.
How they do it, how they don’t, and why to let go.

Letting go has been fairly easy for me. I find that the memories/experiences that I have that were negative or painful are often the ones that I least remember. 

They are hidden in the deepest depths of my soul… occasionally a conversation or new experience will bring them back up, and I’ll cringe and reflect on how painful they were.. then breath a sigh and move on.. thankful that it is in the past.

Sometimes I wonder if my selective amnesia is a blessing or a curse. I mean, who would want to remember a bad experience? Then again, isn’t it those experiences that shape us the most?

All I can say is I’m thankful I do not have to re-live them..
They are of the past..You live, You learn..

            Sing to Jesus, Lord of our shame
            Lord of our sinful hearts.
            He is our great Redeemer.
            Sing to Jesus, Honor His name.
            Sing of His Faithfulness, pouring His life out unto death    

Come you wear and He will give you rest
Come you who mourn, lay on His breast
Christ who died, risen in Paradise
Giver of mercy, Giver of Life

I love these words. In our weakness, pain and suffering.. 
We can sing to Jesus. He is the Lord of our shame.
