To a€œSelf Forgivenessa€
Verse 1 by Nathan Winkler
a€œWhen backs are turned against me, when loneliness seems the end of me, I will lift up my eyes I know that youa€™ll hold me closely / Hold me close to your heart, let me hear your voice. I know that youa€™re never far, I know that youa€™re never too far to comfort me in this emotional agony / How can it be that you would love someone like me / Ita€™s highly unlikely but so much unlike me. Youa€™re faithful to your Word I know that youa€™ll never leave me / Regardless of situations if circumstances haunt me / You remain by my side, You are forever with me / Youa€™re closer than a friend, closer than a real G / There is no one like You, You my One and Only /
Hook by Nathan Winkler:
a€œIa€™m reminiscing on memories I wish were missing, and letting go of all the times that I know I missed it / From now on I choose to live a life of Self Forgiveness, I choose to live a life of Self Forgiveness /
Verse 2 by Chad Moss
a€œMany times I recall trying to go to sleep but found it hard because demons kept haunting me / They keep me up, reminding me of the things Ia€™ve done, a€˜the whole worlda€™s doing it, so why am I feeling convictiona€™ / Is what Ia€™m thinking in my mind while Ia€™m going crazy (a€˜youa€™ll never make it) / Wona€™t make it far if the same choices I keep on making (a€˜youa€™ll never change) / I need a change so from these chains I am breaking (a€˜no, noa€™) / Lord, with your help, from these chains I am breaking (a€˜ahh!!) / a€¦Onto a new life, one with a new Light, oh how things became clear when I got You in my sight / You taught me how to forgive and I started with myself / I prayed the sinnera€™s prayer, my life changed right there / from having no direction to realizing the path that Youa€™re setting , has got me counting every single blessing / Not even want do I want to leave without giving You thanks / So I make the best of my time while ita€™s still called todaya€œ/
Verse 3 by Nathan Winkler
a€œFace to face with my conscious, people say that Ia€™ve lost it / This struggle in my soul I try to determine what caused it / what causes each and every one of my problems; haunted by mistakes hidden in my closet / A living casket, quick hand me some masking tape so I can mask this pain like some masquerade / I fade today tomorrowa€™s the same, maybe next time I can hope my life will change / And I know it will because I trust in Him. To the person in the mirror, I choose to forgive / Hea€™s closer than a friend, closer than a real G / There is no One like Him, my One and Onlya€ /
