Story Behind The Song
All of us at one time or another have encountered a person or situation in which we felt we were wronged. For some of us, it was difficult to forgive. But as God forgave us, we are expected to forgive those that wrong us. Otherwise, we have resentment and bitterness build up in our hearts.

Lyrics
HIS FORGIVENESS
Words and Music by Mark S. Crocker
CH I forgive you, for God forgave me.
I can love you 'cause Jesus saved me.
I can live beyond the hurt that made its way to me.
I can look beyond the pain for God has helped me see
His forgiveness. His forgiveness.
VS. 1 The sin we have inside our hearts can't come before His throne.
We kneel before the Lord confessing sin that's all our own.
We humbly bow and ask forgiveness in the Savior's name;
And we know that when we leave, we won't be the same.
We're forgiven with His forgiveness.
CH I forgive you, for God forgave me.
I can love you 'cause Jesus saved me.
I can live beyond the hurt that made its way to me.
I can look beyond the pain for God has helped me see
His forgiveness. His forgiveness.
BR When we come to Jesus and we share with him our fault,
He casts away our sins forevermore.
We leave them at the cross where our salvation Jesus bought;
Forgiveness comes to us and we're restored.
VS.2 The Lord knows all the reasons why we do the things we do.
The Lord knows all the pain that's caused when we don't ask Him to
Forgive us for the things we've done and said about our friends.
We justify our actions that are meant to offend.
We're forgiven with His forgiveness.
CH I forgive you, for God forgave me.
I can love you 'cause Jesus saved me.
I can live beyond the hurt that made its way to me.
I can look beyond the pain for God has helped me see
His forgiveness. His forgiveness.
