give me a forgiving heart – v4

Give me a forgiving heart
soften the old scar tissue;
Clean out my open wounds
that remain my prison

I release the poison
the bile in my heart;
The pain, the open wound,
may the puss bleed out

Give me a forgiving heart
to let go of such anger;
The hurt that I don’t let go of
this I release now.
