Lord of the Past

My cover of a song written by Bob Bennet. Tuning is standard.

Php 3:3 forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before...

Is 43:18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

Part of spiritual growth is learning to forget our past by replacing it with God's promises for our future.

Don't know how this escaped my notice until now. But I wanted to post my thanks for a fine version of LOTP. I am always so gratified when someone brings new life to one of my tunes by spreading it around to their circle of listeners. Anyway, for those who were asking, "Lord of the Past" originally appeared on the long-out-of-print CD of the same name (1989) ... but I re-recorded a solo acoustic version on THE VIEW FROM HERE" which is still available at my web site. Again my thanks, Bob.

Thank you for your gracious comment, which I had to read twice to convince myself it wasn't a joke. I would be negligent if I failed to testify that your songs have spoken into my life uniquely and most profoundly. I look forward to what more the Lord has to say through you.

wow, I'm having a hard time finding this song online... it's not on Itunes, and I don't even know where I can find the CD. I'm glad you recorded this, because at least I got to hear it. :)

I would think that the CD would still be available through Calvary Chapel. Bob is affiliated with them. I suggest emailing or calling them and inquiring.

your rendition has a sweetness reminiscent of Paul Simon, Bob's rendering conveys all the rawness of emotion that only Bob can bring to his musice

Excellent . . . (are you from the Midlands?)

One of my favorite songs. Nice job on the voice and th guitar.

You seemed to have caught to the essence of the song and of Bob's intent for the song.

Bob Bennett is one of my favorite Chrisitian artists. Though my faith has brought me to agnosticism, he is one artist that keeps me on my thin string of belief at all. The song "You're Welcome Here" by Bob is pretty hard to find, its not even on iTunes. It might be on his website, but its one of the best. I grew up going to Bob Bennett concerts with my parents, and he has been a central part of the spiritual music in my life. Thanks for the cover.

You said it correctly, It truly is a powerful song regardless of who sings it. Bob Bennett has written several such songs that are deeply spiritual and cathartic. Thanks for the comment.

@Quantanthead What I was meaning by the one thing that I said was "Whether Bob sings this song or you sing this song...the song still has the same impact. Really touhces the heart. Thanks again.

[Quantanthead]

What a great job. I don't think it matters who sings a song like that. It's such a meaningful and powerful song and I appreciate you putting it on here. It really touched my heart this morning because of what I have been going through. Nice to see Bob comment on the song too. What a great guy, song writer and musician he is. Powerful songs.
