Lyrics
V1.
How do I forgive myself, when these memories haunt me?
The pain I feel won't let me be..
I wish I had more confidence, knew better what to do...
Instead of giving myself.....away to you
C1
They say..., you cannot love until you love yourself...
They say... You don't need to put your heart on a shelf
Even though I've been forgiven... Can I forgive myself?
They say.....
V2
When I see myself.. in the mirror, .... I hear a voice say..
"You can't fool me, I know who you are.., and you can't run a..way!"
But if His blood has covered me, from the sins of my past,
Can I find the strength to fight..... and live the life that he has cast?
C2
They say..., you cannot love 'til you love yourself...
They say... Don't need to put your heart on a shelf
Even though I've been forgiven... Can I forgive myself
And have the faith to believe I'm Ok?
Bridge:
Do I look up.. and wait for absolution?
Do I let go.. and believe in my salvation?
I have to remember that the past is in the past
I've been forgiven, by a love will know will last..
C3
They say... you cannot love 'til you love yourself
They say, He will always save us from ourselves
I know I've been forgiven ....So I will forgive myself..
And have the faith to believe I'm OK!
C4
They say.. you cannot love 'till you love yourself
They say... He will always save us from ourselves
I know I've been forgiven; He gave a new life to me
With Jesus by my side I am set free....
Now I have forgiven, there's a new life for me....
With Jesus by my side I am set free........
