I Forgive You

Where were you when I walked down the aisle?

You made it look easy to abandon your child

You turned your face while I suffered in shame

Sometimes I wonder if you remembered my name

I'll never be weak enough to hate you

I'll never be strong enough to hurt you

So I forgive you

I was the thorn fixed into your side

A crown meant to blossom if you didn't hide

Now the flowers have wilted but it's not too late

No matter how long I still have to wait

I'll never be weak enough to hate you

I'll never be strong enough to hurt you

So I forgive you

There's not time to rewrite all of history

I don't have patience to resolve this complex mystery

So I'll give you the love that was given to me

By the One who gave His life for me

By the One who has forgiven me

I don't deserve the love of the Lord

But He gives freely, says He'll never leave me

Grace is the last thing I want to give you

But I choose to bless you when I could curse you

I'll never be weak enough to hate you

I'll never be strong enough to hurt you

I'll never be

I'll never be weak enough to hate you

I'll never be strong enough to hurt you

So I forgive you

I forgive you
