[Verse 1] Some wounds run deeper than we show Some words stay longer than they should But I’ve been given so much mercy So I’ll return it when I could [Pre-Chorus] I won’t let anger own my heart His grace has shown a better start [Chorus] I’ll forgive like He forgave me Let the bitterness release I’ll lay down every hurt I’m carrying And choose the road that leads to peace [Verse 2] It doesn’t mean the pain was nothing Or that the wrong was ever right It means I’m giving up the burden And walking forward in His light [Pre-Chorus] I know how much I’ve been forgiven So grace is what I want to give [Chorus] I’ll forgive like He forgave me Let the bitterness release I’ll lay down every hurt I’m carrying And choose the road that leads to peace [Verse 3] When someone asks me how I do it When every part of me says no I’ll remember Christ showed mercy And gave me grace I didn’t owe [Bridge] Help me love when love is harder Help me let resentment go Make forgiveness part of living So Your mercy always shows [Chorus] I’ll forgive like He forgave me Let the bitterness release I’ll lay down every hurt I’m carrying And choose the road that leads to peace [Outro] I’ll leave yesterday behind me With an open heart today I’ll keep living out His mercy And forgive like He forgave [The End]
