THE POWER TO FORGIVE

Today is a brand new day, today is just beginning

I can barely breathe

I’m not really sure what is going on but I can tell that You are winning

Lord send me and a new dream you will weave

Perhaps a different woman woke up today, perhaps something was born out of great pain

Perhaps light breaks forth from darkness

Today I feel like I have everything to gain

If I could only find a quiet place to rest

Life can change in just an instant so why not go all in – no reservations, no holding back – no take-backs

Lord, my name is tattooed on Your heart

I am standing here and for the first time I have no plan of attack

I don’t have a place to end and I don’t have a place to start

You know the first and the last and You have the answers to the prayers I didn’t dare utter with my whispered breath

You see to the deepest core of my being

You forge my path from here to there – You define height and depth

Yet sometimes I doubt the words I sing

I can only be human one hundred percent of the time

That is all I have to give

I’m so thankful that you have rhythm and rhyme

And you have the power to forgive.
