LYRICS
Can You Forgive Me
© 2017 Tim L. Koerber and Kathryn R. Gordon
V/1
When I said I didn't believe in you, my faith had come unwound,
I was lashing out at all the pain I simply couldn't drown.
Lord, I know you're not responsible for the choices people make,
Things I said to hurt you - I never meant to say.

Chorus 1
Can you forgive me
Can you help me understand
Take my "Hallelujahs", Lord, take every last "Amen".
Help me see it's not just times of peace when You deserve my praise.
I want to give You glory
Even when my heart breaks - like Yours breaks

V/2
I didn't mean to question You, it was never my intent
But when I see this suffering, my emotions become spent
I know Your ways are not my own, and far beyond my grasp
Every time I hear bad news I feel compelled to ask

Chorus 2
Can you show me?
Can you help me understand?
Take my "Hallelujahs", Lord, take every last "Amen".
Help me see it's not just times of peace when You deserve my praise.
I want to give You glory
Even when my heart breaks - like Yours breaks
And Yours breaks........ more.......

Bridge
Yes, Your ways are so much higher
Than my plans and my desires
And I may never really comprehend it all....my thoughts are so small.

Repeat Chorus 1

Yes, Yours breaks
