Forgive You

Lyrics

(long guitar intro)

 

So here I am again

dwelling on a past that hasn't happened yet

a pain that I both know and can't remember

a story that hasn't yet been said.

 

I lie to myself

on a daily basis because I can't do that which i should

because I can't believe this world is good

because I can't do what I've been commanded by the blood...

 

(wait a couple of beats, then go heavy)

 

I can't forgive you!

Because there is nothing left in me to give.

I can't believe in you!

It's finally time I start telling myself the truth once again!

I have no faith left in everything you are.

You caused me too many scars!

I'm sorry...but I can't forgive you.

 

Well here we are now

a crossroads in the middle of nowhere

a fork in the road that I can't begin to repair

a path in my way Lord I just wish I was somewhere...

 

But how...do...i

begin to start finding my way back

when I have been lost for so long?

 

You shine...your...light

Down the narrow path for me

moving the ground for my feet.

 

I stumble and fall

but you pick me back up again

even when I'm full of sin

 

...and you say...

 

I can forgive you!

Because there is no greater love a man can give.

I do believe in you!

It's finally time you start living in the truth again!

Have faith in the great I AM!

I heal your wounds and scars!

I love you...and I forgive you...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I owe this to several people who have hurt me over the last year, and though I wanted to hate them so bad I chose instead to forgive them...because I was forgiven, and there is freedom in forgiveness.

    Nice poem about your

 

 

Nice poem about your beliefs, and knowing that you have been forgiven therefore forgive. What if a person can't forgive their oppresors, what if they leave them to their fate as instigators of war, crime and sin?

And realy can't be bothered getting around to hating them either as that would harm a persons ownself.

Your poem is full of questions and very thought provoking, I enjoyed your poetry a good read.
