In my life there has been sorrow
In my life there has been pain
In my life I have been hurt
By people who said they loved me
And have been turned away by people I loved

God gave me grace, so I can forgive them
He gave me faith, to show He’d follow through
He gave me love, so I would know
He has forgiven them too

If you are one who gave sorrow
If you one who has given pain
If you are one who hurt me
While you were saying you loved me
Or one who turned away when I tried to love

God gave me grace, so I can forgive you
He gave me faith, to show He’d follow through
He gave me love, so I would know
He has forgiven you too

When it was I who gave sorrow
When it was I who gave pain
When it was I who hurt you
While I was saying I loved you
Or when I turned away when you tried to love

God gave you grace, so you can forgive me
He gave you faith, to show He’d follow through
He gave you love, so you would know
He has forgiven me too

God gave us grace, so we can be forgiving
He gave us faith, to show us He’d follow through
He gave us love, so we would know
He has forgiven us too
