Matthew West came to Bayside Community Church in Bradenton, FL on October 24, 2012. Here he presented the story behind the song "Forgiveness". Renee Napier, the lady the song was written for, was at this concert along with Eric Smallridge. Renee's daughter was killed by Eric in a drunk driving accident. Both discuss the power that forgiveness has had in their lives. Amazing testimony! Lyrics: It's the hardest thing to give away And the last thing on your mind today It always goes to those that don't deserve It's the opposite of how you feel When the pain they caused is just to real It takes everything you have just to say the word... Forgiveness Forgiveness It flies in the face of all your pride It moves away the mad inside It's always anger's own worst enemy Even when the jury and the judge Say you gotta right to hold a grudge It's the whisper in your ear saying 'Set It Free' Forgiveness, Forgiveness Forgiveness, Forgiveness Show me how to love the unlovable Show me how to reach the unreachable Help me now to do the impossible Forgiveness, Forgiveness Help me now to do the impossible Forgiveness It'll clear the bitterness away It can even set a prisoner free There is no end to what it's power can do So, let it go and be amazed By what you see through eyes of grace The prisoner that it really frees is you Forgiveness, Forgiveness Forgiveness, Forgiveness Show me how to love the unlovable Show me how to reach the unreachable Help me now to do the impossible Forgiveness I want to finally set it free So show me how to see what Your mercy sees Help me now to give what You gave to me Forgiveness, Forgiveness
