Forgiveness

It's all about
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh (one love, one love) (check out the story)
Uh, yeah
It's all about
Forgive us all

Uh, I see the rain, it's in the sky
I see the pain, it's in the eyes
Just a man prone to minimize
At midnight, I can hear the bitter cries (love)
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 that 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 wanna feel like I'm sleeping with the enemy
Uh, man, this whole thing is bittersweet
I should forgive since Christ is forgiving me
Yeah, at least I know this in my head
But it's so much easier said

Yeah, uh
They say forgiveness is a choice
Disappointment and anger give bitterness a voice
But, uh, Swallow my pride and follow my God 'til I finish this course
Forgiveness is a choice
Disappointment and anger give bitterness a voice
But, uh, I gotta Swallow my pride and follow my God 'til I finish this course

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
Uh, 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

They 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

Uh, they say forgiveness is a choice
Disappointment and anger give bitterness a voice
But I got to swallow my pride and follow my God 'til I finish in this course
They say forgiveness is a choice
Disappointment and anger give bitterness a voice
But, uh, I got to swallow my pride and follow my God 'til I finish in this course

The very last time you hit me
I vowed to never ever let anybody do that to me ever again
He preached one thing but lived another
And had the nerves to call me a hypocrite
He said I was his favorite and this is how he shows he loves me?
After being married for ten years, the test results come back positive
She told me I was her only love and then I saw her with him
I thought she was my friend, how could she do this to me?
Forgive them? Never

You say I can't forgive, a kid for kid
They apologize, you can't accept
Demand respect, imagine that
When every time you sinned, God cancelled debt, yeah
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 'em 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
Forgiveness is a choice

Swallow my pride and follow my God 'til I finish this course (oh-oh, oh)
Forgiveness is a choice (oh-oh, oh)
Swallow my pride and follow my God 'til I finish this course
Swallow my pride and follow my God 'til I finish this course (oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
Swallow my pride and follow my God 'til I finish this course
