I'm searching for a composer/vocalist for the lyric below. Please email peadenr@aol.com if you interested. The Past © Barbara J. Patterson/Rebecca D. Peaden (BMI) - LyricsV1The coat of shame she woreGot heavier with ageCause pleasing men was something She’d done in her younger daysHer secrets burned like poisonAnd Ravaged her weary soulSelf-loathing, her constant companionHad taken a terrible tollV2She couldn’t bear another nightOf memories that cut like glassSo she took her husband’s handAnd confessed her lurid pastTold him she would understandIf he didn’t want her anymoreHe gently kissed her lipsHis words shook her to the coreChorus:He said the past is Satan's toolTo keep you from the LordTo make you feel unworthyOf the things God has in storeOpen your heart and mindOur Lord is kind and justCause there's bad in the bestand good in the worst of usV3He got down on his kneesSaid I’m as guilty as youCause sometimes I paid for love And I was ashamed, tooBut I confessed my sins to himAs you're confessing todayHoney, God don’t care about our pastAnd I don’t either, let’s just prayBridge:She no longer cowers in fearSomeone would know her pastCause now she walks with JesusAnd has forgiven herself, at lastChorus:He said the past is Satan's toolTo keep you from the LordTo make you feel unworthyOf the things God has in storeOpen your heart and mindOur Lord is kind and justCause there's bad in the bestand good in the worst of us
