I Forgive You - Me--Lyrics
By Karen Taylor-Good
and Colin Tipping
VERSE
I’m working on forgiveness, working really hard,
Cause I’ve noticed how it lightens up my spirit and my heart.
But there’s still one soul who I beat up on,
Shame and blame and heap the crud on.
What a painful price that little soul has paid.
So face to face and heart to heart, I think it’s time to say:
CHORUS
I forgive you, you’ve done the best you could.
I forgive you, I release you from the shoulds.
I accept you as that perfect child of God you’re meant to be.
I forgive you - me.
VERSE
I wonder why it’s easier forgiving someone else,
Mothers fathers, children, anybody but myself.
Can I learn to love myself completely,
The good, the bad, the cool, the geeky?
Well the pieces won’t be falling into place
‘Til I can look with love upon this face.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
When I slip into those unforgiving habits from the past
I promise that I’ll see you clearly in this looking glass.
CHORUS
