Forgiveness Lyrics - Radney Foster

You can ask for sitting in a pew under that pottery painted glass 

Search for it in shadows hidden deep in your checkered past 

Ill feel sometimes like youre looking for a ghost 

But then you see it the eyes of the ones that love you most 

Forgiveness, everybody needs it; Forgiveness, give it and receive it 

Sometimes the toughest thing you can give yourself; Forgiveness 

I dont think its ever too late to learn to sing a different song 

Pick up those tools you left out and putem back where they belong 

I cant handle yet what hurts me the most 

But standing here saying this to you tonight means that Im getting close to 

Forgiveness, everybody needs it; Forgiveness, give it and receive it 

Im learning thats what love is all about; Forgiveness 

In my Fathers house I learned that lost time is just a sin 

Each wrong I leave that I dont right might haunt me till the end 

We worked so hard at the perfect life, we forgot to live 

And Im sorry that what you needed most, I didnt know how to give 

Forgiveness, everybody needs it; Forgiveness, give it and receive it 

Its as easy as Im sorry from the lips of someone else 

And the toughest thing you can ever give yourself; Forgiveness
