Every day I give you a reason to cry
'Cause I see the hurt in your eyes
But stronger yet I see the love that shinesHelp me learn to take on the nature of you
And love more than I accuse
And pardon others like you taught me toSomething happens inside my heart
Lord, when I obey
Something happens inside my heart
Every time I prayForgive me as I learned how to forgive
And reach out through the pain
And touch with hands of graceForgive me as I learn how to forgive
And reach out through my own pain
And touch with hands of graceAs you prayed for those who crucified you
Forgive they don't know what they do
Compassion reached out to a world confusedHelp me learn to bless those who persecute me
And pray for my enemies
And show them mercy like you've shown to me'Cause something happens inside my heart
Lord, when I obey
Something happens inside my heart
Every time I prayForgive me as I learn how to forgive
The ones that broke my heart
The way I've broken yoursForgive me as I learn how to forgive
And reach out through my own pain
And touch with hands of graceForgive me
