Forgive and Forget

Me and my shadow

He goes wherever I go

My darker side sometimes chases me home

He makes me feel guilty

For things I'm forgiven of

Says I'm unworthy

While you say I'm loved

Lest I forget it

You have said it I believe

If I forget

That you forgive

Will that affect

The way I live

What I regret

I won't believe

I won't forget

That you forgive me

He's my distraction

'Cause he knows my passion is you

His broken record plays 'round and 'round inside my head

He'd keep my own two eyes

Focused on pitiful me

But I'll turn my heart in love

Toward the world instead

Lest I forget it

I'm forgiven and I'm free

I am living in the promise of a merciful place

Where all my shame is gone

I am living in the freedom of forgiveness and grace

It's all I am counting on
