Forgiveness

[Verse 1] You see the rain, it’s in the sky You see the pain, it’s in the eyes Just a man, prone to minimize At midnight, I can hear the bitter cries Love and hate is thinner line I see you swallowing your pride to pretend it’s fine I wish I would have seen this ahead of time Then I could avoid all the pain you feel inside Can’t sleep, odd memories Crying out to God like, would it ever leave? Lord remember me, what’s the remedy? I don’t want to feel like I’m sleeping with the enemy Man, this whole thing is bittersweet I should forgive since Christ is forgiving me At least I know this in my head But it’s so much easier said [Chorus] They say forgiveness is a choice Disappointment and anger give bitterness a voice But … swallow my pride and follow my God till I finish this course Forgiveness is a choice Disappointment and anger give bitterness a voice But I gotta swallow my pride and follow my God till I finish this course [Verse 2] It takes time, the minutes pass Erase the lines, you finish last But you keep submitting to what’s in the past Going through the same cycle like a spinning glass And I know that it’s a process Still trying to get past what your pops did Yeah, now you’re feeling like a monster Explaining to the counselors everything your mom said It cuts you, King Sue God know everything you’ve been through How you been bruised, he’s in tune But forgiveness is the healing for them wounds So you gotta let it go, let it go It’ll kill you if you let it grow Unforgiveness is a poison, the choice is yours I’m just a voice here to let them know that … [Chorus] They say forgiveness is a choice Disappointment and anger give bitterness a voice But I got to swallow my pride and follow my God till I finish this course They say forgiveness is a choice Disappointment and anger give bitterness a voice But I got to swallow my pride and follow my God till I finish this course [Verse 3] You say I can’t forgive, I can’t forget They apologize, you can’t accept Demand respect, imagine that When every time you sinned, God cancelled debt And every time he’s forgiven you Every time that you ate a piece of forbidden fruit I know you’ve been abused, I ain’t in your shoes But I know if you let him dig up the bitter roots And show them love, you’ll overcome Loving enemies is part of growing up Wanna hold a grudge, I know it’s tough But if Joseph the dreamer forgave his older bros And Christ forgives, and died for sins And likes to give life though we ain’t got the right to live Then we should know how to waive our rights to win Whether we’re gray or our life ends, gotta show them love [Chorus] Forgiveness is a choice … Swallow my pride and follow my God till I finish this course Forgiveness is a choice … Swallow my pride and follow my God till I finish this course Swallow my pride and follow my God till I finish this course Swallow my pride and follow my God till I finish this course
