Gordon Mote - Sweet Forgiveness Lyrics

They say forgiveness is the fragrance of the violets
That linger on the shoes that crushed it's bloom into the ground
Precious few possess the strength to give it
Lord I'm just glad that you were looking down

To give me sweet forgiveness
A gift that's always stronger than the sin
Sweet forgiveness
A second chance to walk

You wiped away my tears and said you're only human
To hear that from you Lord, to me is so divine
I'm thankful for the love that I'm not losing
And the mercy that you've shown this heart of mine

To give me sweet forgiveness
A gift that's always stronger than the sin
Sweet forgiveness
A second chance to walk

Sweet forgiveness
A gift that's always stronger than the sin
Sweet forgiveness
A second chance to walk
