Emphasis is made upon how the power of Christ helps us with the putting away of the past, living in the present, being led into the future by listening to the Lord.

Lyrics

Past
Passed Away
When Christ arose in my spirit
And now I've forgotten what WAS
And I cling to what IS
Past
Passed Away
When Christ arose in my spirit
And now I've forgotten what WAS
And I cling to what IS

What He tells me IS my hope
What He tells me IS my plan
What He tells me IS what faith
Is leading me to
For the past has passed away
And yes, all that was in it
Now the present and the future
IS my life

Past
Passed Away
When Christ arose in my spirit
And now I've forgotten what WAS
And I cling to what IS
Past
Passed Away
When Christ arose in my spirit
And now I've forgotten what WAS
And I cling to what IS

Therefore, Now no condemnation
Christ put everything behind me
Every moment of each day is something new
No more failures can control me
No more pain and sorrow mold me
Peace and righteousness and joy
Now IS my life

Past
Passed Away
When Christ arose in my spirit
And now I've forgotten what WAS
And I cling to what IS
