Forgiveness - Chris Young

Once in a lifetime lightning strikes

When fate comes calling your name

And in an instant the flame ignites

And nothing’s ever the same

And you wonder

How things might have been

Yes you wonder

Can you shed your skin

All your excuses and regrets

They sound so tired and old

And when you speak them no one forgets

They sound like tales you have told

So you suffer

Like you knew you would

Oh and you suffer

Like you know you should

Forgiveness waits for you

If you repent for your sin

Forgiveness through and through

'cause I know where you have been

I know just where you have been

And you suffer

All of your secrets hidden deep

Have come to settle the score

And every nightmare when you sleep

Waits patiently by your door

And you wonder

Has the die been cast

Oh yes you wonder

Can you change the past?

Forgiveness changes you

And gives you reason to live

Forgiveness through and through

But it ain’t easy to give

No it ain’t easy to give

So you suffer

Forgiveness waits for you

If you repent for your sin

Forgiveness through and through

'cause I know where you have been

I know just where you have been

And you suffer
