Things happen in our lives that we have no control over.
We don't get a raise, or maybe our true love finds another.
Everyday I see these things, and it bothers me to no end,
so then I have to ask how do I...oh how do I forgive?
How do I forgive those who sin against me?
Lord how do you do it so easily?
How do you love even those who hate you?
Please tell me God because I haven't got a clue...
how you forgive me too.
These things happen, but still I go back for more.
Lord, how many more times before I close the door?
How many times must I be hurt and try one again to live?
Oh God how do I forgive?!!
I see, and I know these things that I should do.
With all of my heart all I want to do is follow you,
but Lord I'm not fit to kiss the bottom of your shoes.
Even still, you love me despite my shortcomings,
but a year and a half later, the pain still stings...
How do I forgive those who sin against me?
Lord how do you do it so easily?
How do you love even those who hate you?
Please tell me God because I haven't got a clue...
how you forgive me too.
You know already when I'll do wrong.
Why then, do you let me carry on?
Sometimes I wish you'd strike me dead.
Does that make me wrong in the head?
I'd try my hardest, but I just feel doomed.
How is it, way back then, that you saw my pain too?
How do I forgive those who sin against me?
Lord how do you do it so easily?
How do you love even those who hate you?
Please tell me God because I haven't got a clue...
how you forgive me too.
Please help me to forgive, as I should love all of them too.
