With so much controversy and disharmony in the world, I felt guided to write this song. I’m so grateful to Becky Willard, for her beautiful voice and talents producing my songs. She has helped bring my music to life and I am forever in her debt. Here are the lyrics:
I’ll Forgive
By Suzanne Hodson
Sung by Becky Cutler Willard
I said this and you did that
Pointing fingers about the facts
Everywhere I look, disharmony
In our homes, is it the same?
Selfishness and too much blame
Everywhere I look, negativity
Do you think God is weeping in the skies
Watching as His children fight and cry
Hoping we will turn our hearts to Him
Finding mercy and love to forgive
I’ll forgive, there’s healing in this gift
I’ll forgive, and feel my burdens lift
I’ll forgive, and pray for every foe
I’ll forgive, and feel God’s love flow
Protest lines, inequality
Dismissing others carelessly
Bullied for their diversity
Painful in fuels painful out
The one who’s hurt may turn around
Shattered hearts cry out for empathy
Do you think God would smile in the skies
If I’d dry the tears of others as they cry?
When those feelings come, I’ll turn and lean on Him
Finding mercy and love to forgive
I’ll forgive, there’s healing in this gift
I’ll forgive, and feel my burden’s lift
I’ll forgive, and pray for every foe
I’ll forgive, and feel God’s love flow
Now you can find me crying on my knees
Praying for my enemies
Pleading that His love will be my sight
That they will find their way to joy and light
I’ll forgive, there’s healing in this gift
I’ll forgive, and feel my burden’s lift
I’ll forgive, and pray for every foe
I’ll forgive, and feel God’s love flow
