Every day I give you a reason to cry
  'cause I see the hurt in your eyes
  but stronger yet
  I see the love that shines
  help me learn to take on the nature of you
  and love more than I accuse
  and pardon others like you taught me to
  
  Something happens inside my heart
  Lord when I obey
  something happens inside my heart
  every time I pray
  
  Forgive me
  as I learned how to forgive
  and reach out through the pain
  and touch with hands of grace
  forgive me
  as I learn how to forgive
  and reach out through my own pain
  and touch with hands of grace
  
  As you prayed for those who crucified you
  "forgive they don't know what they do"
  compassion reached out to a world confused
  help me learn to bless those who persecute me
  and pray for my enemies
  and show them mercy like you've shown to me
  
  'Cause something happens inside my heart
  Lord when I obey
  something happens inside my heart
  every time I pray
  
  Forgive me
  as I learn how to forgive
  the ones that broke my heart
  the way I've broken yours
  forgive me
  as I learn how to forgive
  and reach out through my own pain
  and touch with hands of grace
  
  Forgive me
