"Goodbye Yesterday" lyrics - MATTHEW WEST

MATTHEW WEST
"Goodbye Yesterday"

Dear yesterday
Just called to say I'm leaving
I made my home there in your shadows far too long

'Cause you never fail
To remind me of all my failures
But I think it's time that I leave you where you belong

So goodbye shame
Goodbye past
Oh goodbye guilty you won't see me looking back
I'm slamming that door
And I'm walking away
Hello freedom
Hello mercy
Hello grace
And goodbye yesterday

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

I met a man named Jesus
Came all the way from heaven to find me
But that's just the start of just how far His love would go

He took a cross up a hill
Even though it was mine to carry
His blood ran red and washed my sin as white as snow

So goodbye shame
Goodbye past
Oh goodbye guilty you won't see me looking back
I'm slamming that door
And I'm walking away
Hello freedom
Hello mercy
Hello grace
And goodbye yesterday

Goodbye (woah)
Goodbye (woah)
Goodbye (woah)

Goodbye (woah)
Goodbye (woah)
Goodbye (woah)

Goodbye old me, hello new
Goodbye enemy's lies, and hello truth
Yeah goodbye broken, oh and hello forgiven
Oh goodbye yesterday, and hello new beginning
Oh yeah

Well goodbye shame
And goodbye past
Oh goodbye guilty you won't see me looking back
No
I'm slamming that door
And I'm walking away
Hello freedom
Hello mercy
Hello grace
Oh and goodbye yesterday

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Oh yeah

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Goodbye yesterday
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Oh goodbye goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Dear yesterday
Just called to say I'm leaving
