TOBYMAC
"Forgiveness"
(David Arthur Garcia / Lecrae / Toby McKeehan)

[Intro - tobyMac:]
'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes
And we all step across that line
But nothing's sweeter than the day we find
We find

[Verse 1 - tobyMac:]
It's hanging over him like the clouds of Seattle
And raining on his swag, falling deeper in the saddle
It's written on his face, he don't have to speak a sound
Somebody call the 5-0, we've got a man down

[Hook - tobyMac:]
Now you can go and play it like your own rock 'n' roll
But guilt does a job on each and every man's soul
And when your head hits the pillow with the nightfall
You can bet your life that it's gonna be a fight y'all

[Chorus - tobyMac:]
'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes
And we've all stepped across that line
But nothing's sweeter than the day we find
Forgiveness, forgiveness
And we all stumble and we fall
Bridges burn in the heat of it all
But nothing's sweeter than the day
Sweeter than the day, we call
Out for forgiveness
We all need, we all need
We all need forgiveness
We all need, we all need

[Verse 2 - Lecrae:]
My mama told me what I would be in for
If I kept all of this anger inside of me pent up
My heart been broken, my wounds been open
And I don't know if I can hear "I'm sorry" being spoken
But those forgiving much should be quicker to give it
And God forgave me for it all, Jesus bled forgiveness
So when the stones fly and they aimed at you
Just say "forgive them Father, they know not what they do"

[Hook - tobyMac:]
Now you can go and play it like your own rock 'n' roll
But guilt does a job on each and every man's soul
And when your head hits the pillow with the nightfall
You can bet your life that it's gonna be a fight y'all

[Chorus - tobyMac:]
'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes
And we've all stepped across that line
But nothing's sweeter than the day we find
Forgiveness, forgiveness
And we all stumble and we fall
Bridges burn in the heat of it all
But nothing's sweeter than the day
Sweeter than the day, we call
Out for forgiveness

[Lecrae:]
You know we need that... that... that
You know we need that... that... that
You know we need that... that
A-yo, let's talk to 'em

[TobyMac:]
No matter how lost you are
You're not that far, you're not too far (from forgiveness)
No matter how hurt you are
You're not that far, you're not too far (from forgiveness)
And no matter how wrong you are
You're not that far, you're not too far (from forgiveness)
No matter who you are
You're not that far, you're not too far (from forgiveness)

Ask for forgiveness...

[Chorus - tobyMac:]
'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes
And we've all stepped across that line
But nothing's sweeter than the day we find
Forgiveness, forgiveness
And we all stumble and we fall
Bridges burn in the heat of it all
But nothing's sweeter than the day
Sweeter than the day, we call
Out for forgiveness
We all need, we all need
We all need forgiveness
We all need, we all need

No matter how lost you are
We all need forgiveness
No matter how hurt you are
We all need forgiveness
And no matter how wrong you are
You're not that far, you're not too far (from forgiveness)
No matter who you are
You're not that far, you're not too far

We all need forgiveness, forgiveness
We all need forgiveness, forgiveness
We all need forgiveness, forgiveness
We all need forgiveness, forgiveness
