The Lord has taught me to forgive
As I have been forgiven
I'm done so much in my life
That I wouldn't want to give account
So why is it so hard
For me to go on living?
I've had so many sins forgotten
That I wouldn't want to count
But I can't let it go
It is burning in my soul
Lord I can't let it go
Well I've never seen his face
But I can't forget the way she was affected
I stray from violent ways
But I know some of my hatred has defected
I took a piece of my cold heart
And I formed it to a shiny mental weapon
He must have died a thousand times
Before I saw the road where I was stepping
I'm I not a man
If I don't take a stand
Lord I know You'll understand
Won't You
How can I deny
That I set the bar inside very lowly
There's no place to hide
As I start to slip and slide downward slowly
He will never look into the eyes
Of the one that has slayed him
But the Lord will always look into
The eyes of the one that has betrayed Him
I have to let it go
It is burning in my soul
Lord I have to let
Let it go
I have to let it go
I know
The Lord has taught me to forgive
As I have been forgiven
I'm done so much in my life
That I wouldn't want to give account
