Lord, my heart has grown so heavy
At the sound of that name, my breath stands still
How could You ask me to forgive
My days were filled with bitterness and pain
The wounds ran deep, the sorrow held me tight
Injustice shook the depths of who I am
Yet in that darkness I finally saw
It wasn't them who were imprisoned, it was me
My beloved child
Forgiveness is not asking you to see them as beautiful
Nor to make that day's wounds seem small
But when hatred lingers too long
That darkness becomes the ruler of your heart
Binding you deeper than you can see
And I long to pull you out from there
I do not work to tear people down
Even the darkest roads, I desire to turn back toward the light
This is the love I want to show you
You do not have to like them
Only do not entrust your heart to hatred
That choice will be the first step
In guarding your soul
Lord, I praise You
You alone are the One who restores me
Lord, I place my heart into Your hands
Release the chains that once held me tight
Lead me forward in Your love
Gather the pieces of my scattered soul
Lord, You loved me first and held me close
Now my life becomes a song of praise
All my days, forevermore
I will sing of Your unfailing love
