034 When You Don't Feel Like Forgiving

When you don’t feel like forgiving
When you don’t have what it takes
Survival mode keeps you living
Accusing them keeps you safe

See the man upon the cross
Innocent and so abused
Lifting up a prayer for us
(Forgive them) they don’t know the things they do

It takes more than the strength inside of us
To be crucified and live
But with Jesus Christ alive in us
Who’s able to forgive
He’s able to forgive

He forgave us
He forgave us
He forgave us
He forgave us

It takes more than the strength inside of us
To be crucified and live
It’s the risen Christ alive in us
Who’s able to forgive
Now we’re able to forgive

I forgive you
I forgive you

He forgave me
He forgave me

So I forgive you
I forgive you
