Forgiveness

'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes
and we all step across that line.
But nothing's sweeter than the day we find, we find

It's hanging over him like the clouds of Seattle
and rainin' on his swag fallin' deeper in his saddle.
It's written on his face.
He don't have to speak a sound.
Somebody call the five-O for we gotta man down.

You can go and play it like you're all rock and roll.
But guilt does a job on each and every man's soul.
and when you're head hits the pillow at the nightfall,
you can bet your life that it's gonna be a fight y'all.

'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes and we've all stepped across that line.
But nothing's sweeter than the day we find forgiveness.
Forgiveness.

And we all stumble and we fall,
bridges burn in the heat of it all.
But nothing's sweeter than the day, 
sweeter than the day we call out for forgiveness.
We all need forgiveness.

My momma told me what I would be in for,
if I kept all this anger inside of me pent up.
My heart been broken, my wounds been open.
And I don't know if I can hear I'm sorry being spoken.
But those forgiven much should be quicker to give it,
And God forgave me for it all, Jesus bled forgiveness. 
So when the stones fly and they aimed at you,
just say forgive them Father, they know now what they do.

No matter how lost you are, you're not that far.
You're not too far.  No matter how hurt you are,
You're not that far.  You're not too far.
No matter who you are, you're not that far.  
From forgiveness.

We all need forgiveness...
