MY YESTERDAY
Author(s): Martin M.
Songbook: Love Songs Songbook
KeyWords: Christmas,

The vain regrets of yesterday
Have vanished through God's pardoning grace.
The guilty fear has passed away,
And joy has come to take its place.

Chorus:
My yesterday, so dark with shame,
He has forgiven, oh, praise His Name!
My sins are gone, thank God for peace at last.
The love of Jesus covers all my past.

Those memories of evil years
Burn like a flame within my breast,
And though I sought relief in tears,
I found it not, I could not rest.
No friend of earth who'd help afford,
I needed one Who was divine,
And when I met our blessed Lord,
I knew that help I sought was mine.

Chorus:
My yesterday, so dark with shame,
Christ has forgiven, oh, praise His Name!
My sins are gone, thank God for peace at last.
The blood of Jesus covers all my past.

Oh, come, sad heart, so tired and worn,
Christ can redeem, He can restore.
The sinful soul was never born
He could not save for evermore.

Chorus:
Your yesterday, so dark with shame,
Christ has forgiven, oh, praise His Name!
Your sins are gone, thank God for peace at last.
The love of Jesus covers all your past.
