how quickly we forget

It is our God who created this world, how quickly we forget.
We stumble around as if darkness is unfurled,
we do things that we regret,
instead of simply dwelling in
the sunlight
we forget.

It is Jesus who died for us, how quickly we forget,
we live as though He's dead to us,
In the grave we lay in sin
when it is His blood
that paid for it
so soon do we
forget Him.

The Holy Spirit indwells within, how quickly we forget.
How quickly fear engulfs us,
how soon we turn to run,
how suddenly do we not realize
that we are not alone,
we have a helper inside of us
He is leading and guiding us
how very very quickly
do we now
forget.

And when there is a blessing, let us not forget,
let us dwell in thankfulness, never to forget,
and when the blessings all abound,
let us not forget who gave,
His life, Himself, His Spirit,
In all and through all made
complete and in His love for us,
the reason why we live
let us ever abound in thankfulness
let us remember
Him.
