Why Forgive

Why should I forgive? Or turn the other cheek They lied to me, what a creep So I gave it to the LORD Now what So tell me what’s the difference? How is it by my turning the other cheek Can bring me any relief? I’m a doormat, being walked on I stand a broken man, I stand alone Offense was taken against me, Or do anyone care? I was talked about, laughed at All because I don’t follow the crowd So tell me what’s the difference? You don’t know what I’ve been through So tell me something, that makes a difference. What I have to say, you may not want to hear, But these words, they can be the cure He too was laughed at He too was talked about He too did not follow the crowds The difference is, he did it for YOU. Jesus did it all for YOU, We forgive, but that is His way And that makes all the difference in the world.
