Forgiveness
Beckah Shae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Betrayed and let down, they gossip and slander
They sabotage You as they mock You, it's just a mess!
But I refuse to amuse the lies
And whether or not they apologize
I'm movin on, I'm gonna let go
Cause I gotta fly
Laying down all that's in the past, no bitterness
Putting aside all my pain and my pride, to be blessed
I've learned what we hold against someone else
Will only wind up hurting ourselves
We need love motivation

Forgiveness!
There's healing in your wings
Your peace it let's me breathe
Forgiveness!
You're the reason why I live
I'm worth only what I give
Forgiveness

The damage is done, the scars still remain
But I gained wisdom and strength
So I declare the victory is won!
I refuse to amuse the pain
Won't let it take my freedom away
I'm movin on, I'm gonna let go,
Cause tomorrow's a better day!
I am so imperfect, I am only human
And I'm whole heartedly asking You to forgive me, oh
Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me

MOC
You gotta take in the air and just breathe in
Believe in
In order to let a broken heart start beat, beat beatin' again
A gain of restored grace
From a flash in a past space
What's left is a bad taste
Repairing from despair
Which left you unaware
That others desperation of hatin'
Which had you statin' what was done in the past,
History, so ill,
The sting from the blow, fast hit, it's so real
Faced with the options presented
Forgive or resent it/ to live or regret it/ grip or forget it
You gotta love or hate it
See, the truth's been stated
Let it go, cuz the past has been dated
Now pardon me of my faults in the fall of me
Dignity placed in all we see
Drawn from a source of what we can't force




A loving trace of a crimson course
Of course, no remorse in…

MOST of the music played on secular pop radio today is vile, rap or otherwise, not to mention the behavior of those who sing it. That's why I'm glad to have good alternatives like Beckah Shae. Keep it coming, Beckah..."There's got to be something better to make you dance dance" and she's providing it :-)

Child of God

Amen 🙏❤️🙌
