Lyrics Forgiveness - Ben Smith, Bread & Wine

Forgiveness

Grieving is a part of the journey
Saying goodbye to who I thought I was
Life is a mystery, full of twists and turns
One little lesson that I’ve learned
Forgiveness, is our healing medicine
Forgiveness, when we just can’t forget
Sharper than any sword, stronger than any war
Oh, it’s not easy, but I know it’s a gift from You
We’re all a part of a family
This family is growing again
We will fall and break and bruise
Get back up with open wounds
And we will choose to trust again, again
Forgiveness, is our healing medicine
Forgiveness, when we just can’t forget
Oh, sharper than any sword, stronger than any war
Oh, it’s not easy, but I know it’s a gift from You
Oh, it’s a gift from You
You never said it would be easy
You know what it’s like to lose
By the power of forgiveness
You’re making all things new
You’re making all things new
We pray
Father, forgive them
For they know not what they do
They know not what they do
We pray
Father, forgive them
For they know not what they do
They know not what they do
We pray
Father, forgive them
For they know not what they do
They know not what they do
Forgiveness, is our healing medicine
Forgiveness, when we just can’t forget
Oh, sharper than any sword, stronger than any war
Oh, it’s not easy, but I know it’s a gift from You
Oh, it’s a gift from You
If faith can move the mountains
How much faith will it take to
Let go of this pain we’re in
Reach out to the world again
And keep holding on to You
