Someday, I'll forgive myself

The standards I set, I set them highReaching up to the glory of God How high can I go? The higher it is, the further I can fall The more it hurts when I land The more others are hurt on the way down Divine forgiveness awaits me there But where is the forgiveness in my heart for me?

Someday, I'll forgive myself

The standards are erected once again So far up I've lost sight of the goal I lean back, look up and pray The climb begins all over again Life rolls on, leaving me behind But it must go and I must take my time Must find the right way, God's way not mine

Someday, I'll forgive myself

When wrath wrecks my soul When temptations strike my weakened flank When the rewards of this world block my view of Him He still waits, carries, sustains When I can no longer look at the mess of me

Someday, I'll forgive myself

It's Him, oh it's Him Always before, always behind, always beside It's Him, oh it's Him Who gives the forgiveness for my soul Who makes my heart as white as snow It's Him, oh it's Him Who gives the forgiveness for myself Who knows, understands, loves

So today, I will forgive myself With the forgiveness He gives
