"Forgive" lyrics - MICHAEL W. SMITH

Whenever it rains
Reminds me of the day
When you left me
Didn't say goodbye
I was young
You broke my heart

I learned to dance with pain
And how to pray
And how to hope
Still I wonder
Where you were
Did you care
And cry with me
When it rained

I forgive you
I forgive you
It's a heavy crown
But I can't lay it down
Till I give it
Till I let it
Go

Now when it rains
I'm not afraid
I'm not alone
Tears of joy
Feed the river
That feeds the ocean
But drowns my sin
And I am free
I'm free

I forgive you
I forgive you
It's the sweetest sound
And you lay your hanger down
Then you give it
You will give it

So leave me down
At the river
So leave me down
At the river

Oh talk to me
Down at the river
Oh-ooh
I forgive you
