The Weight of Forgiveness

I carried the burden, the guilt of my sin, the shame that echoed deep within

The road was long, the night was cold, I thought my heart was too heavy to hold

But mercy spoke where despair had reigned, and the weight I bore was exchanged

Oh, the weight of forgiveness lifts my soul, breaking the chains I could not control

His love swept in, His grace made whole, the weight of forgiveness has healed my soul

The cross was heavy, the hill was steep, but His love for me was fierce and deep

The nails that pierced, the blood that fell, redeemed my life from the depths of hell

He bore my sin, He bore my pain, and left behind an empty grave

Oh, the weight of forgiveness sets me free, a sinner redeemed by Calvary

His wounds declared the victory, the weight of forgiveness is life to me
