Matthew West - Forgiveness (Lyrics)

Forgiveness (single): http://itunes.apple.com/album/forgive...

It's the hardest thing to give away
And the last thing on your mind today
It always goes to those that don't deserve

It's the opposite of how you feel
When the pain they caused is just too real
It takes everything you have to say the word...

Forgiveness
Forgiveness

It flies in the face of all your pride
It moves away the mad inside
It's always anger's own worst enemy
Even when the jury and the judge
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
It's the whisper in your ear saying 'set it free'

Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness

It'll clear the bitterness away
It can even set a prisoner free
There is no end to what its power can do
So let it go and be amazed
By what you see through eyes of grace
The prisoner that it really frees is you

Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness

I want to finally set it free
So show me how to see what Your mercy sees
Help me now to give what You gave to me
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness

I had a lot of anger in me and hurt from something that's happened recently. I've decided to forgive the person and now I don't feel angry. I've let my anger go and moved on, and I'm so glad to! I have an amazing God and without him my life would be a mess. Thank you God for everything and teaching me how to forgive others through music like this. And thank you Matthew West for this amazing song!-3

I know God wanted me to hear this AM, I am going to pick my daughter up tonight, she has been in jail for 113 days. Her dad is not in her life, and I am the only one she has... she has burnt all the bridges she has ever had. I have not always been there for her b/c she has hurt me as well, but "Forgiveness" ~ If God can forgive me for my wrongs who am I not to forgive her. <3 Loving my daughter Nina <3 I hope she stays focus on God when she walks out those doors tonight! Prayers Please! Thanks

Surrender all your grudges,painful past,emotional hurts to Jesus. Jesus will take it away for you and hive you peace.

Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.

I try to forgive my dad but he has done stuff so unforgivable... I have let him back into my life but I still have that slight grudge.

Before i never knew this song existed until I heard it on the Christian Radio. The reason why i started loving this song was because last year (4th grade) we had to do a Gift From The Heart project and my friend (Emily) took something that I was gonna say and the last thing on my list was Forgiveness because me and a girl (2 years younger) got into a huge fight (we neighbors) and i got really unhappy.



[Amanda Goolsby]

Amen! I have also been through something awful and I am having a hrd time forgiving, but you know what since forgiving doesn't mean that I have to speak to him, see him, or go anywhere near him let alone stay married to him, I think I will forgive him, I just won't froget, That I don't think I can ever do

...lol

[CupcakeCakeandCandy]
