Forgive Yourself
© Harold Vondenstein 1-13-03

When you’re searching
For the reason you’re not happy
When you look into the mirror
And feel alone

You pray dear God
I know it’s about forgiveness
I’ve forgiven all
But still I feel like stone

Says the Father
“Take another look in the mirror
I have forgiven you… yes you’ve forgiven all
But there’s one you’ve left sitting on the shelf
It seems you’ve forgiven all except yourself

Yes take My word
And teaching to the others
Yes take My love
And share it everywhere

But first there is something
That you must do
Forgive yourself
Release your hurting heart”

For the heart that is free
Life’s a celebration of beauty
For the heart that is free
A festival of the Spirit

“Forgive yourself
Release your hurting heart”
