Lyrics
WINDS OF FORGIVENESS WORDS & MUSIC BY T.J. ZOVAR 1993 ASCAP 1657084
I AM HELPLESS, I AM LONELY, I AM COLD
HELP ME OH MY GOD, HELP ME TO COPE, MAKE ME BOLD
GOD HELP ME NOW, HELP ME NOW, I CAN?T SEE
WHERE I?M GOING ANY MORE, THE ROAD IS DARK AS CAN BE
CHORUS 1:
I WANT TO RIDE ON THE WINDS OF FORGIVENESS
SO I CAN BE A LIGHT AND A WITNESS
GOD PLEASE HELP ME NOW, HELP ME NOW, I AM WEAK
I HAVE NO WHERE TO TURN BUT TO YOU OR THE OTHER CHEEK.
JESUS I?M SO SORRY, OH SO SORRY, FOR MY SINS
PLEASE NAIL THEM TO THE CROSS WHERE THEY BELONG, SO I CAN BEGIN?
CHORUS 2:
TO FEEL YOUR LOVE AND YOUR PARDON
AS I BOW AND KNEEL IN YOUR GARDEN
GOD PLEASE TELL ME PLEASE, TELL ME PLEASE, IF YOU LOVE ME
IF YOU ARE NEAR, THAN I CAN HEAR YOU SPEAKING CLEARLY ABOVE ME
CHORUS 3:
NOW I KNOW I?M AT THAT PLACE?OF SUBMISSION
WHEN I FEEL THE HUMBLE CRY OF CONTRITION
GOD HELP ME PLEASE, HELP ME PLEASE?TO GET CLOSE
GOD PLEASE FILL ME NOW, FILL ME NOW, WITH THE HOLY GHOST.
CHORUS 4:
LET ME RIDE ON THE WINDS OF FORGIVENESS
LET MY LIFE BE A LIGHT AND A WITNESS
Bridge:
I WANT TO FLY OVER PERPETUAL HILLS AND SEE THE EVERLASTING MOUNTAINS,
TO GAZE NOW THROUGH PURER EYES AND SWIM THE DEEP OF YOUR FOUNTAINS
CHORUS 5:
I WANT TO RIDE ON THE WINDS OF FORGIVENESS
SO I CAN BE A LIGHT AND A WITNESS
FEEL YOUR LOVE AND EMBRACE YOUR HOLY KISS
PAUSE:
THANK YOU FATHER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SON?S SAVING GRACE
THANK YOU JESUS, FOR MY SINS THAT YOU SO QUICKLY ERASE
CHORUS 6:
NOW I CAN RIDE ON YOUR WINDS OF FORGIVNESS
I CAN BE THAT LIGHT AND A WITNESS

FATHER NOW I KNOW, YES I KNOW?.I AM SAVED
AND WHERE I?M GONNA BE AFTER THIS LIFE.. BEYOUND THE GRAVE

SPREAD MY WINGS AND FLY ON THE WINDS OF FORGIVENESS
I?LL FEEL YOUR LOVE AND EMBRACE YOUR HOLY KISS
