FORGIVENESS
(J. Wilson)
© Ochiltree 136 Publishing (2000)

You know much and more besides, I don't have an alibi
I'm caught inside a wicked lie
Gave to me your trusting hand, thus, I stole your innocence
Now you surely understand,
That it drives me mad, that I hurt you bad, forgiveness

Gave to me your willing heart, a promise pledged, a blessed start
It couldn't help but fall apart
You know much and more besides, the nature of my wicked game
I've practiced with such diligence,
But I lost again, and I hurt a friend, forgiveness
And still I ask, once more I beg, forgiveness

Give back your trusting hand, give back your willing heart,
Oh sweet forgiveness, I beg forgiveness

I lost again, I hurt a friend, forgiveness
You turn your head, to me instead, forgiveness
And still I ask, once more I beg, forgiveness
