They brought such joy to my heart.
And then they tore it apart.
So broken and beyond repair.
Maybe they never really cared.
But You love them.
You love them.
And then they tore it apart.
So broken and beyond repair.
Maybe they never really cared.
But You love them.
You love them.

They caused me suff’ring and pain,
And I was never the same.
So full of trust, yet so betrayed,
And then they simply walked away.
But You love them.
You love them.
And I was never the same.
So full of trust, yet so betrayed,
And then they simply walked away.
But You love them.
You love them.
Bridge:
I can’t go on if I’m abiding in this hatred.
How can I live if I’m in death?
O Lord, infuse me with Your love to forgive them
And pass from death to life.
I can’t go on if I’m abiding in this hatred.
How can I live if I’m in death?
O Lord, infuse me with Your love to forgive them
And pass from death to life.

They wanted You crucified.
They cursed You, left You to die.
You bled to save Your enemies.
Among those sinners, one was me.
But You love us.
You love us.
You love us.
They cursed You, left You to die.
You bled to save Your enemies.
Among those sinners, one was me.
But You love us.
You love us.
You love us.

What a sweet and life-ministering song! We don't have a forgiving bone in our body, but we have a forgiving life in our spirit. The Lord as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit dwells within us as the real Joseph, who loves the brothers without limit or preference. The footnote in Genesis 45:5 says, "Joseph did not need to forgive his brothers, because he did not blame them (cf. note 28). He received as from God all that his brothers had done to him, and he comforted those who had offended him (vv. 5-8; 50:15-21). What grace, and what an excellent spirit, he had!"
"And now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life." - Genesis 45:5 RcV
"And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." - Genesis 50:20 ASV
"O Lord, infuse us with Your love to forgive and pass from death to life!"

The song turns my heart to touch his forgiving grace. What a tender heart our Lord has.
