Forgiveness Lyrics

Bob Carlisle Forgiveness

I say I will, but then I won't
Say I do, but then I don't
It happens every day
I hate the sinner, love the sin
It's a sorry state I'm in
I've got to get away

Every time I throw that stone
The fate I'm sealing is my own
You know how much I need

Forgiveness, forgiveness
I can't live without
Forgiveness, forgiveness
That's what love's about
Forgiveness

I say forgive and then forget
But I ain't learned to do it yet
You'd think I'd know by now
I know how to hurt someone
Been on both sides of that gun
Pulled the trigger anyhow

When I'm hurting someone else
I only hurt myself
I've got to let it go

Forgiveness, forgiveness
I can't live without
Forgiveness, forgiveness
That's what love's about
Forgiveness

A thousand wrongs don't make a right
Just nobody wins
When the bridges start burning
Can't you hear my cry?

Forgiveness, forgiveness
I can't live without
Forgiveness, forgiveness
That's what love's about

Forgiveness, forgiveness
I can't live without
Forgiveness, forgiveness
That's what love's about

Forgiveness, forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness
