Forgiveness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In my silence I would love to forget
But restitution hasn't come quite yet
And with what I crave, I keep pushing forth
I stretch my heart to hear some more
It used to be all I' d wanted to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
But now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you
As my seasons change I've now grown to know
When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe
So I wash away stains of yesterday
then tempt my heart with love's display
Used to be only what to learn
was wisdom, trust and truth
But now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you
(repeat x3)
