I Forgive Me

Sometimes the hardest person for you to forgive

Is the one you see in the mirror everyday

It's time for you to get free

Sing FIYA

I decided to stop replaying regrets

And I decided to tell my past by

I cannot change what I did

But I did change what you gave me

When you took my place

No more guilt but grace

(Time to let it go)

Feel it all went too long

Watchin' reruns of my wrong

Take the shame away

(No more)

Reliving mistakes you washed away

(So I want you to do what God has already done for you and say)

I forgive me

(It may have taken a while to get to this point but)

I forgive me

(If God has forgiven you, why can't you do the same?)

I forgive me

(It's time to stop looking back, so God's purpose can move you forward)

I forgive me

(You may be saying James, but you don't know my past, I was wrong)

Yeah, I know we was wrong

Carried this weight for too long

(I want you to get free right now and say)

I forgive me

(You've been hard on yourself long enough)

I forgive me

(You've always felt like you weren't good enough, but that's over with)

I forgive me

(You've made mistakes, but those mistakes don't get to make you)

I forgive me

(God knew what you'd do, and he still chose you)

Yeah, I know we was wrong

Carried this weight for too long

(But you been carrying this weight for far too long)

I forgive me

(Now letting go, can be the most difficult part of this process)

(To have a memory of your past)

(But not allow those memories to produce the same pain in your future)

(But today, it's time for you to get your life back)

(Instead of staying down, feeling sorry for yourself)

(I want you to pick yourself back up and let it go)

I'm letting it go

(The pain of yesterday)

I'm letting it go

(You've already taken too much from me)

You won't steal the future anymore

(The memory of every mistake)

I'm letting it go

(It's time to receive God's wish)

I'm letting it go

(You can't change his mind about you anyway)

You won't steal my future anymore

(You could've been a better mother)

I'm letting it go

(And maybe you should've been a better father)

I'm letting it go

(So pick up the phone and call that child, it's not too late)

You won't steal my future anymore

(It's time to let go of your shame)

I'm letting go

(The stuff they put on your name)

I'm letting it go

(But yet was cancelled when Jesus came)

You won't steal my future anymore

(The cycle's been broken and now)

You won't steal my future anymore

(God's restoring the years)

(Get you what you lost)

(He's gon' refund you for the time you wasted)

You won't steal my future anymore

(Somebody said I got a future)

(I don't have an obituary, I got a future)

(Grace kept me alive because I got a future)

You won't steal my future anymore

(Thank you Jesus)

(Bless you, thank God)

I forgive me

(Maybe you didn't get it right the first time)

I forgive me

(But God has already forgiven you)

I forgive me

(Now it's time for you to forgive yourself)

I forgive me

(Don't let who you were)

(Interfere with who God's allowing you to become)
