09 I Choose To Forgive

Verse 1
Maybe I was selfish
Maybe I was thoughtless
Maybe I was ruthless
Maybe I was heartless

But I want you to know
that I was in the wrong and I’m sorry
I was blinded by the pride of fool
and an argument that never let go

Chorus
But will you forgive?
Will you let me live?
Free from the chains of resentment?
I’m asking you to forgive,
to forget and let live
in the liberty of mercy and grace
Do you know?
Will you choose to forgive?

Verse 2
Maybe I was offended, rejected
Maybe I was violated
Maybe my love and trust were betrayed
Maybe my heart was ripped apart -
in countless ways

But I want you to know
even though I was wronged
I’m letting go of the argument
that never let go

Chorus 2
I choose to forgive
I choose to live
Free from the chains of resentment
I choose to forgive,
to forget and let live

Bridge:
Free from the bondage of woundedness, bitterness,
selfishness, hopelessness
angriness, wretchedness, faithlessness, hopelessness

I choose to forgive
I choose to live
I choose to forgive

Verse 3
Cause there was a man
despised and rejected
there was a man who was violated
He was a man who love and trust were betrayed
He was hated and wounded in countless ways

But he wants us to know
even though we were wrong
He let us go from every argument
when he pleaded
Father forgive them

Chorus 3
He came to forgive
He came to live
So that we could be free from this death
He came to forgive
He said Father forgive them
for they know not what they do
and how about you?
Will you choose to forgive
Will you choose to live?
Well I choose to forgive ....
