Forgiven

Forgive me now
For the things I have done
I don't know how
This had all begun

Smiling bright
Making everyone feel that everything is alright
But deep inside
I just want to hide

As a child
I tried to stand tall
Always a bit wild
I'd often fall

Growing up
Is a hard thing to do
Filled my cup
And thought of you

Looking down
At the world below
I take off this crown
Because of what I know

He came down from above
To show unconditional love
He died on the cross for me
So that I could be free

Now that I am here
Standing before you
It all seems so clear
It all seems so true

You helped me grow
This, you already know
You took away the pain
That caused me to go insane

And gave me a new heart
Gave my life a new start
As I look to the sky
I finally understand why

The troubles I have had
That have made me mad
The sadness I have lived
The people I had to forgive

All of it for a reason
Like the changing seasons
Your blessing multiplied
I could see it in her eyes

You gave me hope
You gave me life
You helped me cope
You took the knife

I thank you
Every day and every night
I now know who
I am in this fight

I am yours
Forever more
Open up the doors
And I will soar
Once again....
