FORGOTTEN NOT

Have I forgotten how to sing
In my heart
From my spirit
Have I gotten to be like a mule
Led by bit and bridle
Have I lost sight of Your love
Your unfailing love
That surrounds Your children
Have I forgotten how to trust
In Your love
In Your ways
In Your truth
I have kept silent
In my sin
In my self
In my pride
I am wasting away
In my bones
In my groaning
In my spirit
Cry out my heart
Shout out my spirit
For my silence has cut me off
All my strength evaported
Have I forgotten the discipline
Of the Lord
Of the Father
For those He calls His very own
Have I forgotten just who You are
Sing you His righteous
Confess you His children
Cry out you His beloved ones
Forget not your King
Forget not your Father
Forget not your Savior

Even in my place of exile
By my hands
By my sin
In my silence
I can not forget You Lord
I can not lose sight of You
Of who You are
Of who I am in You
Of who You are in me
For there You are
For there You are
Forgotten not is Your salvation
Forgotten not is Your mercy
Forgotten not is Your holiness
Teach me to remember who You are Lord
Let my heart sing with gladness
Let my spirit praise in joy
For You are the only one
That rescues my soul
Let me not forget You
Let me not be silent
Let me not ignore You
Humble my heart and mind
Have I forgotten the land of Egypt
Have I forgotten the lies
Do I not wear the scars of redemption
From a land of sin
O to have Your name on my lips
O to know Your name in my spirit
O to have Your love in my soul
Yes how can one forget
