can i forgive you for remembering the bad days
can i forgive you for injuring me
can i forgive?
will i take pain and give it to my savior
will i replace injury with joy
will i deny my right to justification
will i forgive?
can i tell you that everything is over
can i tell you that worry doesn't fix things
or that threats don't often either
do i forgive?
i do forgive and loss becomes lesson
i do forgive and coals are finally quenched
i do forgive and life is all the brighter
i choose forgiveness
because i was first forgiven.
will i replace injury with joy
will i deny my right to justification
will i forgive?
can i tell you that everything is over

i do forgive and coals are finally quenched
i do forgive and life is all the brighter
i choose forgiveness
because i was first forgiven.
