lyrics

Be Forgiven – words and music by Ryan Sheeler (2013)

VERSE 1
Maybe we don’t how far we’ve fallen and a lot of us don’t even care
Maybe that’s the problem not realizing we’re there
You see it all the time on the streets and in the news
People livin’ their lives - tradin’ down for grace refused

PRECHORUS
But I don’t wanna live that way, divided heart or not
I want the hope in sharing what You’ve got

CHORUS
May we be forgiven and our heart be truly free
Take away the blindness, so we can really see
thousands turn to you from sea to shining sea
(May we) be forgiven …and make it true inside of me

VERSE 2
We wear a mask to hide ourselves - more fragile than we let on
The stress piles up so far – it seems all my faith is gone
But I open up my heart – to the touch of your hand
The questions don’t mean so much, and I start to understand

PRECHORUS 2
You’re more than just a picture…greater than we know
You loved us all enough to let us go

BRIDGE
I wonder what would happen if people really new
How very close to them you are
Would they recognize your voice
Knocking on the door of their hearts?

SOLO – CHORUS - END
