Shelf Life

Let's raise a toast
Before it don't matter
Forgive at the most
But do you get over it

I don't wanna be so bitter
But I got a lot of hurt to bandage
Someone knock me off my high horse
Cause Jesus, I need You the same

I'm not tryna disregard what he did to me
Nah, that hurt like hell
(Hurt like hell)
I could keep it pretty, pretty
But I'd rather let you know just how it felt, God
Still

You came and saved me from myself
Promised through sickness and in health
Maybe I should take the bitter off the shelf
And make space for the love
That you promised above that You'd give
Minimum shelf life, yeah
(Take the bitter off the shelf, now)
Minimum, yeah
(Minimum shelf life, shelf life)

My God, I'm in pain
(Can't You see my pain)
Please tell me You see this
(Tell me You see this)
Revenge ain't the way
Ain't my back to pay
(Ain't my back to pay)

I don't wanna be so bitter
But I got a lot of hurt to bandage, yeah
Someone knock me off my high horse
Cause Jesus, I need you the same, yeah

I won't ever disregard what he did to me
Nah, that hurt like hell
(Help me God, that hurt like hell)
Don't need to keep it pretty, pretty
Cause you know exactly just how bad it felt, God
Still

You came and saved me from myself
(Thank You for saving me from myself)
Promised through sickness and in health
Maybe I should take the bitter off the shelf
(Take the bitter off the shelf, God)
And make space for the love
That you promised above that You'd give
(My God)

You came and saved me from myself
Promised through sickness and in health
Maybe I should take the bitter off the shelf
(Cause You don't tolerate bitter)
And make space for the love
That you promised above that You'd give

Divine intervention's the only sure way I'll forgive
But no matter the hurt
I know I'm called to love him through it
