If the Lord Can Forgive

I stand accused of loving you, despite the crime I must forgive to protect my broken heart I see the vultures, like dark angels As they swoop But only God will ever really know the truth If the Lord can forgive, why can't you? Oh, I know it ain't such an easy thing to do Will you keep me in your prayers, 'Cause I know the good Lord cares? If the Lord can forgive, why can't you? You call it evil I disagree So hard to face the darker parts of you and me You point the finger And you cast a stone But you have secrets, and confessions of your own If the Lord can forgive, why can't you? Oh, I know it ain't such an easy thing to do Will you keep me in your prayers, 'Cause I know the good Lord cares? If the Lord can forgive, why can't you? Broken spirit, I know your name So lift your head high, I can feel your shame Your mind is twisted This crazy fear But you're in my heart I'm gonna keep you there Gonna keep you there Gonna keep you there Oh yeah If the Lord can forgive, why can't you? Oh, I know it ain't such an easy thing to do Will you keep me in your prayers, 'Cause I know the good Lord cares? If the Lord can forgive, why can't you? If the Lord can forgive, why can't you?
