Forgiveness (Matthew West)

Intro:
C  F  C  F

Verse 1:
         C
It's the hardest thing to give away
        C
And the last thing on your mind today
   F
It always goes to those that don't deserve
         C
It's the opposite of how you feel
         C
When the pain they caused is just to real
        F
It takes everything you have just to say the word
           C           F
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
 
Verse 2:
   C
It flies in the face of all your pride
   C
It moves away the mad inside
     F
It's always anger's own worst enemy
C
Even when the jury and the judge 
C
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
         F
It's the whisper in your ear saying 'Set It Free'
          C            F
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
          Am           G
Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Chorus 1:
           C
Show me how to love the unlovable
           F
Show me how to reach the unreachable
           Dm
Help me now to do the impossible
           C            F
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
           Dm              F                C
Help me now to do the impossible, forgiveness

Verse 3:
       C
It'll clear the bitterness away
       C
It can even set a prisoner free
      F
There is no end to what it's power can do
    Am
So, let it go and be amazed
    Am
By what you see through eyes of grace
    F
The prisoner that it really frees is you

Chorus 2:
           C
Show me how to love the unlovable

Show me how to reach the unreachable
           Dm              F                 C
Help me now to do the impossible, forgiveness
C
I want to finally set it free
              F
So show me how to see what Your mercy sees

Help me now to give what You gave to me
