about

"Forgiveness is the final form of love." Reinhold Niebuhr

lyrics

FORGIVENESS

Oh, to be alive
To be alive with grace
To stand naked in the Holy light
To be alive with grace.

To shed this skin like armor
To shed this serpent veil

Oh, to turn these pearls
To turn these pearls back into sand
And let them wash away
let them wash away at oceans edge.

To shed this skin like armor
To shed this serpent veil

Oh, the tears will empty
Empty into the ancient seas

the ships will sail on these ancient seas.

Sacred vessels of forgotten love
The sacred vessels of forgotten love
To a shore that’s pure forgiveness
To a heart that’s pure forgiveness.

And shed this skin like armor
And shed this serpent veil

Oh to be alive
To be alive with Grace
To stand naked in the Holy light
To be alive with grace.
