A Heart That Forgives Lyrics

I want a heart that forgives
A heart full of love, one with compassion just like yours above
One that overcomes evil with goodness and love
Like it never happened, never holding a grudge
I want a heart that forgives. lives and let live
One that keeps loving over and over again
One that man can’t offend, because your word is within
One that loves without price like you Lord, Jesus Christ
I want a heart that loves everybody, even my enemies
I want to love like you, be like you, just like you did
I want a heart that forgives
I want a heart that forgives when the ones that are closest
That I’ve known the longest, hurt me the most
I still want to love them, just like you love me, even though I am hurting
I want a heart that forgives when the pain is so deep

It is so hard to speak, about it to anyone
Just like your Son, I give up my right
To hold it against them, with hatred inside
I want a heart that loves everybody, even my enemies
I want to love like you, be like you, just like you did
I want to walk like you, talk like you, just like you did,
I want to be like you, live like you, just like you did
Cause a heart that forgives is a heart that will live totally free from the pain of the past And the heart that lets go is the heart that will know so much freedom
Lord I want to let it go, (Hallelujah)
God I need to let it go,
Lord, it’s been holding me back
And I don’t want it I don’t want it, I don’t, I don’t want it no more
I don’t know exactly what to do to get rid of it but
Here I am Lord Jesus, here a I am oh, here I am Lord Jesus, oh Lord, I need you, I need you
I know this is me that you are talking to
This is me, this is me, this is me, Lord, this is me
Lord, I let it go, every person, every person thats ever hurt me
God, I let go! Every single hurt, God, I let it go! Every single pain!
God, I let it go, I let it go! I let it go!
Lord, You can have it, Lord, You can have it
Lord, You can have it, Lord, You can have it,
You, can have it now, You can have it now, cause I don’t want it no more
