For years my heart had struggled Till the freedom came at last And though I claimed forgiveness I was a prisoner to the past But the war grew silent And my doubts were all erased For when I saw the walls removed God was standing in their place He's pulling down the past He's tearing walls apart He's clearing out the storms That were clouding up the heart He's building my tomorrows On a foundation that will last There's noting to see when I look cause He's pulling down the past I still have times of struggle With the memories in my mind Yet I'm no longer shackled To what I left behind And now His blood has covered All the things that I regret For even as the Lord forgives I'm a**ured that He forgets He's pulling down the past He's tearing walls apart He's clearing out the storms That were clouding up the heart He's building my tomorrows On a foundation that will last There's noting to see when I look cause He's pulling down the past
