Forgiveness Lyrics

You can ask for sitting in a pew under that pottery painted glass
Search for it in shadows hidden deep in your checkered past
I'll feel sometimes like you're looking for a ghost
But then you see it the eyes of the ones that love you most

Forgiveness, everybody needs it; Forgiveness, give it and receive it
Sometimes the toughest thing you can give yourself; Forgiveness

I don't think it's ever too late to learn to sing a different song
Pick up those tools you left out and put'em back where they belong
I can't handle yet what hurts me the most
But standing here saying this to you tonight means
that I'm getting close to

Forgiveness, everybody needs it; Forgiveness, give it and receive it
I'm learning that's what love is all about; Forgiveness

In my Father's house I learned that lost time is just a sin
Each wrong I leave that I don't right might haunt me till the end
We worked so hard at the perfect life, we forgot to live
And I'm sorry that what you needed most, I didn't know how to give

Forgiveness, everybody needs it; Forgiveness, give it and receive it
It's as easy as I'm sorry from the lips of someone else
And the toughest thing you can ever give yourself; Forgiveness
