When Forgiveness Wins

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
You've been hanging onto bitterness
You can't forget the words he said
When he packed his bags and left
You’re downing in your anger
Cause he promised you forever
And you feel like you're a wreck

[Pre-Chorus]
You can rise above it all
There's freedom if you let it go

[Chorus]
When Forgiveness wins
Hope is born and peace restored
Forgiveness wins
When every right is laid aside
The darkness
Defeated
Love breaks in
When Forgiveness wins

[Verse 2]
You lit 18 candles on his cake
He called and told you he'd be late
But later never came
You met the man that took your son
He was so distraught and overcome
But you offered him grace

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
2000 years ago
The earth shook, the veil was torn
When you bled and died
You covered all our shame
Conquered and crushed the grave
Your mercy brings new life

When Forgiveness wins
When Forgiveness wins

[Chorus]
