forgive me
Gaither Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forgive me, I'm so sorry
Forgive me, I've been so wrong
First I hurt You and drove You away
Then pride kept me silent when I needed to say.

Forgive me, I'm so sorry
I need You, I always will
This hole in my heart Lord, only You can fill

Forgive me, please take me home.

The trust that's been shattered
Love can restore
And time will heal
Our broken heart.

Forgive me, I'm so sorry
I love You, I need You so
Moments are fragile, let's hold them close
Forgive me, please take me home.

Forgive me, I'm so sorry
Forgive me, I've been so wrong
This hole in my heart Lord, only You can fill
Forgive me, please take me home.

Forgive me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gaither Vocal Band's Please Forgive Me evoke a deep sense of remorse, regret, and a longing for forgiveness. The first two lines of the song, "Forgive me, I'm so sorry, forgive me, I've been so wrong," set the tone for the rest of the song. It is a plea for mercy and a request to be forgiven for the wrong that had been done. The song talks about how the singer had hurt and driven someone away, and how pride kept them silent when they needed to say something. The lyrics acknowledge the hurt that was caused and implore the person to forgive them.

The song then talks about how the trust that was shattered can be restored through love and time, and how the broken heart can be healed. The next verse continues to plead for forgiveness and express love and a deep need for the person being addressed in the song. The song recognizes the fragility of moments and implores the person to hold onto them closely. The chorus repeats the plea for forgiveness and the expression of the singer's deep need for the person being addressed. The lyrics conclude with a simple "Forgive me."

Throughout the song, there is a raw vulnerability in the lyrics that tug at the hearts of the listeners. The song is a powerful reminder of the importance of forgiveness in our lives and relationships. It shows that admitting one's wrongs, asking for forgiveness, and doing what we can to make it right can bring healing and restoration.

@bergen78535

This isn’t a song about forgiving people in our lives. It’s about seeking forgiveness from God the father, and how only he can fill the hole in our hearts ❤️

+NCLN He didn't forgive us on the cross. He paid for our sins there. He forgives everyone individually when we repent.

@stevebilliter

John--It looks like it was written by Bill Gaither, but they also have another song, "Please Forgive Me."These lyrics are totally different, so it's not the same song.

@gaklotz

It would be nice if Bill would just STOP putting his finger to his ear everytime he sings with the group

It's because when you are singing in a group or choir (even alone too) and cover your ear you can hear tour own voice and make sure that you are singing the right musical note, even with all the sound around you.
