Forget The Sin

(Verse 1)

The lights are coming through above my cracked front door

I’m counting up the heartaches scattered on the hardwood floor

My reflection in the window looks like a stranger I don’t know

Just a man who’s lost his spirit with nowhere left to go

I’ve been traded for a dollar, I’ve been treated like a stone

Building up a life, ohhh just to sit there all alone.

(Chorus)

Then the sky opened up and the angels start to show

With a light I didn’t earn and a peace I didn’t know

They didn’t come with thunder, no, they whispered soft and low

That my heart wasn’t made for the darkness below

They said, “Son, you’re worth the mercy, forget the sin”

Then I saw the light start to open from within.

(Verse 2)

They showed me every kindness that I’d brushed off in the dark

Every time I helped a friend, ohhh every helpful remark

They took the tiny notebook where I’d written all my shame

And they washed it in the water ‘til they couldn’t find my name

I told ‘em I was broken, that I don’t deserve to stay

But they smiled and said He doesn’t need you today.

(Chorus)

Then the sky opened up and the angels start to show

With a light I didn’t earn and a peace I didn’t know

They didn’t come with thunder, no, they whispered soft and low

That my heart wasn’t made for the darkness below

They said, “Son, you’re worth the mercy, forget the sin”

Then I saw the light start to open from within.

(Bridge)

It’s funny how the world can make you feel so small

Like you’re just another stranger leaning against a wall

But those wings, they wrapped around me, and they lifted up my head

And for the first time in forever, ohhh I believed the words they said.

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)

Then the sky opened up and the angels start to show

With a light I didn’t earn and a peace I didn’t know

They didn’t come with thunder, no, they whispered soft and low

That my heart wasn’t made for the darkness below

They said, “Son, you’re worth the mercy, forget the sin”

Then I saw the light start to open from within.

(Outro)

Yeah, I’m finally seeing the light

finally seeing the light!

Mmm forget the sin

Let out your light from within

Yeah, I’m finally seeing the light!

Ohhh finally seeing the light!

forget the sin

Let out your light from within
