Forgiveness
© By Joshua Daniel
WITHIN ME IS A BATTLE, ONLY THE STRONGEST CAN FIGHT
THE DECISION WHETHER TO DO, WHAT IS WRONG OR RIGHT
MORALITY IS THE ISSUE, BUT THE CENTER IS QUITE NEAR
CAUSE EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT YOU, I'M ALMOST DRAWN TO TEARS
IT'S A MISTAKE OF YEARS PAST, THAT'S BEEN GNASHING AT MY FEET
EVER SINCE THEN, MY ERROR I'VE REFUSED TO REPEAT
MY DEFENSES HAVE BEEN UP, MAN-MADE BARRIERS SET
BUT MAYBE WHAT I DID WRONG, WAS NOT TO FORGIVE AND FORGET
WE'RE ALL HUMAN, SOMETIMES WE DO WRONG
YET I'VE BEEN HOLDING THIS GRUDGE, FOR MUCH TOO LONG
JESUS CHRIST ALWAYS FORGAVE, AND HE WAS THE CREAM OF THE CROP
HE'D WANT ME TO CHANGE THIS; HE'D WANT ME TO STOP
IF I CAN'T LISTEN TO HIM, THERE'S NO HOPE FOR ME
THE MAN OF ALMIGHTY POWER, RULER OF ETERNITY
SO THAT LEAVES ME FIGHTING MYSELF, STANDING TOE TO TOE
IT'S SOUL VS. SPIRIT, TRADING BLOW FOR BLOW
GOT TO MAKE UP MY MIND, I'M LOSING CONTROL
TRYING A NEW STRATEGY, I'M GOING ON PATROL
I NEED TO MAKE THINGS BETTER, BECAUSE THIS IS MY DOING
ONLY GOD CAN HELP ME THERE, HIS PRESENCE IS RENEWING
THE CLOCK IS TICKING DOWN; I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME
WANT TO GET TO THE POINT, BEFORE I FINISH THIS RHYME
SO THAT'S WHY I STAND HERE, WITH HONESTY AND TRUTH
FORGIVENESS IS ALWAYS KEY, I'M LIVING BREATHING PROOF
