From Now On
by Kathleen Higham

Only God knows who I am
I have seen who I am not
Attacked from the unexpected
A hard, painful lesson taught.

Living foolishly unprotected
Not realizing who to be
Captured by the besetting sin
Yes, the sin that lives in me.

I promised God sincerely
In that moment I pray
From now on God, no more
If You would take the sin away.

Do you ever wonder why?
One violates the soul of another?
It is because of besetting sin
That we would offend a brother.

This is a calculating war!
To draw attention away
But from now on, Lord
Help us stop the words we say.

There is a private agenda
When the least become the most
The quiet one who never harms
Draws the proudest to boast.

From now on, from now on
Looking deep, deep within
I will never accuse another, but
Pray for my own besetting sin.

Another day He rises the sun
In the early morning dawn
Unto Jesus, where love began
I shall give it, from now on.


Hebrews 12:1-2

"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus…"
