Name: Forgiveness
Duration: P00H02M36S
Description: God offers forgiveness and grace to us when we absolutely do not deserve it. This song describes my struggle to forgive myself for things that I do not feel deserve it even after receiving it from God himself. It also is a contemplation on forgiveness on a human level. As in, "would it be easier to forgive myself if the people I harmed forgave me." But then what right do I have to ask for that?

lyrics

Father forgive me for I have sinned
My hands have been places they never should have been.
Father forgive me for I have sinned
I know now the trouble the mind can get you in.

It's been years, would it be weird?
Do you need any closure?
Is it wrong to bring it up?
Is it my selfish nature?
The same that got me into this mess,
Got me filled up with regret.
I'm better now would you care to see
Just how much you changed me?

It wouldn't be that hard to just reach out and say I'm sorry.
But if those wounds have healed,
If you've moved on
I don't want them to reopen.
I guess in writing this I'm saying out loud what should have already been said.
The thought of facing you now it seems so hard it fills me with dread.

At what point do I move on?
At what point do I forgive myself?
