I Forgive You

down every alley, up every street

out in the country, where people meet

you see it daily, an' ya hear it too

not only in others, it's in you

feel the pain or cause it,

right or wrong or both

lion or a lamb don't confuse it

we're all in the same old boat

they sometimes lie and leave you,

an' use you then they're gone

the river rolls beyond you both,

but memories linger on

i might pass before you,

you might hang around

i might just outlive you,

either way i forgive you

yes i do?i forgive you

(only way to live)

we don't work the same garden

but we had our share of strife

still i beg your pardon

and i wish you love and life

no matter either way

i may never win you

but i found peace in Jesus

cuz i forgive you, yes i do

i forgive you
