God Forgive Me

Verse 1
God bless him; he’s changing for me
He said he would be a better man and begged me to put the past behind
He made his confession, but that's no guarantee
If I’m gonna trust him again, I’ve simply got to make up my mind

There’s nothing more he could say - no more left to prove
The next step is mine to take, but what am I gonna do?

Chorus
God forgive me but I can’t forget this
I want to move on but it’s so hard to not look back
Heaven help me, ‘cause I feel so helpless
I know I should give him one more chance
but God forgive me if I can’t

Verse 2
I love him; I guess I always will
But he broke the promises we made the day that he found another's touch
If I rise above it, my heart could suffer still
Even if I work through the pain, will my faith in him be strong enough?

There’s nothing more he could learn; no wrong left to right
But, once I’ve been badly burned, I can’t help thinking twice..

Chorus
God forgive me but I can’t forget this
I want to move on but it’s so hard to not look back
Heaven help me, ‘cause I feel so helpless
I know I should give him one more chance
but God forgive me

Bridge
I want to just embrace him, but I stand in my own way
I want a restoration, but, Lord, I’m so afraid

Chorus
God forgive me but I can’t forget this
I want to move on but it’s so hard to not look back
Heaven help me, ‘cause I feel so helpless
I know I should give him one more chance
but God forgive me if I can’t – God, forgive me
I know I should give him one more chance
I know I should give him one more chance
God forgive me
