LYRICS
[Verse 1]?I was just a broken man, driving down that road so blind?Heart in pieces, lost the way, couldn't see the life I'd leave behind?Bottle in my hand, I thought it'd wash away the pain?But the night turned dark, and I called out her name in vain??[Chorus]?Oh, Lord, forgive me, for the choice I made that night?I never meant to take a life, never meant to lose the light?All those drinks can't lift this weight, just a road that leads to fate?Got a heart filled with regret, but I know you'll heal my pain??[Verse 2]?You were young, full of dreams, and I crushed them in my haste?Now I see my face in echoes of the past, a heart that learned but pays in grace?I wish it was me beneath that darkened sky instead of you to bear the cost?But in your loss, I stand reborn, still aching yet I find I'm not lost??[Chorus]?Oh, Lord, forgive me, for the choice I made that night?I never meant to take a life, never meant to lose the light?All those drinks can't lift this weight, just a road that leads to fate?Got a heart filled with regret, but I know you'll heal my pain??[Bridge]?I've turned my shattered heart into a beacon of hope,?From ashes to courage, I found ways to cope?Through lessons learned in dark despair,?Now I guide those lost souls; Lord, I'm right there??[Verse 3]?From that wreckage I didn't die, but learned to stand each day?Serving others who've lost their way, like you know I wished to stay?I share my story wide and far, with faith I speak aloud,?With every step toward healing, I walk no longer proud??[Chorus]?Oh, Lord, forgive me, for the choice I made that night?I never meant to take a life, never meant to lose the light?All those drinks can't lift this weight, just a road that leads to fate?Got a heart filled with regret, but I know you'll heal my pain??[Outro]?Though the scars remain I won't forget that she lives on;?In love and light, I find my heart, healing is never gone.?Every seed that I have sewn will find a fruitful place,?With you, Lord, I walk with grace, in your love, I find my space.
Forgive Me, Lord
