Forgiveness Lyrics - Matthew West



Review The Song (2)





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 to real
It takes everything you have just 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 it’s 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

marriage healed | Reviewer: vulpes | 3/29/13

My husband committed the ultimate sin, he sexually abused our daughter. He is in jail, and i was in the process of divorce. When I first heard your song i was asking God for a sign. At the same time I was hearing about a woman that was fighting for a prisoner's freedom, this man had killed her daughter.I new God was speaking to me, I still had my daughter and i knew my my marriage would be healed if I only let go , and forgive. Thank you for this song, i listen to it over and over. May God continue to inspire you to write beautiful words that encourage hearts.

Touched My Heart | Reviewer: CJ | 3/18/13

A few months after our son died in November, 2012, by a hit-and-run driver, I had a dream where he told me it was time to let go, and the next morning the first song I heard was your song "Forgiveness". It touched my heart. Thanks for your beautiful, inspirational music - truly a gift from God! Your songs have brought great comfort to me. Thank you.
