Song about a friend struggling to forget his past
lonnie crampsey
Story behind the song
I have a friend who just struggles letting go of his past. I was think of how hard it must have been for Peter to recover from the night he denied Christ right after he was told he would. But, he asked forgiveness and moved on to help change the world.
Lyrics
Hey Brother
By Lonnie Crampsey
Hey brother, where you going now? It seems youve gone astray
But you can never run too far
Memories from the dust they scream a melody but
Some tunes are better left forgot
Youre harping on the news of yesterday
I'm here to say to you that yesterday is gone
Hey brother I see beyond your stare, youre miles away
But you dont live there anymore
How matchless is the grace that takes our sin and pain?
And throws them right out the front door
Your dwelling on your sin in everyway
But Im here to say its time to be moving on
Youre like Peter on the water
You take a few small steps with focused vision
Then your faith it starts to falter
You turn your eyes away, now youre swimming
Hey brother I see into your heart and what tugs at you
In time I pray that hurt will fade
Cuz our Saviors calling out your name to come alive
And I know youll never be the same
So take on up your empty netting
And let him fill your soul on the other side
Hey brother, where you going now?
