give me a forgiving heart – v3

Melt the wax of my struggle

the baggage of my pain;

Free me from the load I carry

as I walk the Way

Give me a forgiving heart

soften my old scar tissue;

Clean out the open wounds

that define my prison

I release the poison

the bile in my spirit;

Heal the pain, the open wounds,

may the puss bleed out

Give me a forgiving heart

to let go of my anger;

Every hurt that I don’t let go of

these I release now, I give them to God.
