Songs Of Forgiveness (The Early Years)

Tears entwined with the pouring rain,

Innocents gone, a fearful hollowness remains.

The child within embraces bitterness and shame,

Running in circles, looking for the one to blame.

Don't save your crying for a rainy day.

Let god's grace wipe the pain away

Life can pass you by, oh so fast,

And hunting memories remind you of your past.

Without forgiveness what will last?

You were burned now you're on your guard,

Afraid your soul again will become scared.

Was it love or just the circumstance?

Do you long for another chance?

Fear's so subtle, while sin's so sweet,

But it will blind you, drag you down by your feet.

Be my beacon, my holy light,

My place of refuge from this ever present raging night

Songs of forgiveness are all I hear,

While all around me satin's militia shout, and gear,

But they can't harm me; I'm on in your care.

Your love surrounds me like an ever present,

Evil consuming flare.

Don't save your crying for a rainy day.

(Oh it’s a rainy day)

Let god's grace wipe the pain away.

(In the middle of love)

Life can pass you by, oh so fast.

Don't let the memories haunt you; what is done is the past,

And god's forgiveness is all that will last.
