Lyrics
Verse 1:
It's the welcome sound of silence when the fighting ends
It's barefoot on the hot sand then the cool tide rushes in
Or watching as the rain clouds form to drench the burning hills
You calm my raging storm, saying "Peace be still"
I'm finding out this is how forgiveness feels
Chorus:
Reflecting on Your goodness I am overcome
Refreshing every morning In the presence of Your love
Remembering the promises found only in Your word
Reaching down, you pulled me out from all that I deserve
The guilt is gone, I'm moving on, I'm healed
I'm finding out how forgiveness feels
Verse 2:
Old familiar pictures fade behind the shattered glass
In the sunlight of Your love as you touch up my past
And when the breath of life melts away the winter chill
There comes a sweet release and a freedom in Your will
I'm finding out this is how forgiveness feels
