History
by Matthew West
album: History (2005)
It's been a bad day
You've been looking back
And all you see is everything you wish you could take back
All your mistakes
A world of regrets
All of those moments you would rather forget
I know it's hard to believe
Let me refresh your memory

Yesterday is history
And history is miles away
So, leave it all behind you
But let it always remind you of the day
The day that love made history

You know you can't stay right where you fell
The hardest part is forgiving yourself
But let's take a walk into today
And don't let your past get in the way

Would you believe that you are history in the making, in the making?
Every choice that you are making
Every step that you are taking
Every chain that you are breaking
History is in the making
Every word that you are saying
Every prayer that you are praying
Every chain that you are breaking
History is in the making
History is in the making
History is in the making

Read the lyrics. I love the fact that God has already forgotten the things we've done. He's crying out to us the same cry he's always been crying out I died for that! Let it go, and accept the plans I have for you. We are the only obstacle in the way of what God desperately wants to show us. God wants to create history with us. Isn't he worthy of that? Can we get out of the way so that God can restore us? He's waiting right by our side, only smiling with anxiousness. He knows your life and it's potential. Let's make the history God wants us to have. Let's hold the hand of Christ forever. May we forever be embedded in the heart of God. He created us for this moment, let's make it count!

Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is. -Romans 12:2
