I couldn’t see I was the only hostage
To the bitterness I can’t let go
Maybe now it’s time to cut my losses
Move on, move on, move on
Oh, I can’t believe how long it’s lasted
I could feel it coming up these bones
There’s a part of me that can’t get past it
I know, I know, I know
‘Cause when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, it’s not easy (oh)
Oh, it’s not easy (oh)
When you forgive someone
You set yourself
You set yourself
You set yourself free
I got these reasons that I just can’t get there
They hold me down like the hounds of hell
But I can tell you that the journey to justice
It never ends up fair
‘Cause when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, when you forgive someone
You set yourself free (oh)
Oh, it’s not easy (oh)
Oh, it’s not easy (oh)
When you forgive someone (oh)
You set yourself
You set yourself
You set yourself free (oh, oh, oh)
All that’s heavy on my soul
Lay it down and let it go
All that’s heavy on my soul
Lay it down and let it go
‘Cause when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, it’s not easy (oh)
Oh, it’s not easy (oh)
When you forgive someone (oh)
You set yourself
You set yourself
You set yourself free
Mary’s story
Last year was probably one of the toughest years I’ve been through in quite a while. In a four month time span, our beloved family dog passed away from cancer, my long-time job was eliminated and I was sent to a different division at the company, then my mother passed away suddenly, and I resigned at work. Life felt like it was spinning out of control and I could do nothing to stop it. However, through the grace of God, a lot of tears and questioning, plus a TON of prayer, I made it through the darkest moments. I am beyond grateful for WBGL and the consistent connection to prayer, worship music, and encouragement to find peace during the pain and confusion of life.
