[VERSE 1]
What a blessing it is that God offers grace
And says He’ll erase our mistakes
When we admit that we’ve fallen short
The hope in our hearts is restored
When we remember what Jesus did
His love helps us forget
The hurt that has come against us…
And we let go of bitterness
[CHORUS]
We can walk in wholeness and healing
When we choose forgiveness
Not just off’ring it to others
But accepting the grace God gives us
When we give and receive His mercy
We leave brokenness behind
We tear down the walls our past has built
And find freedom…. on the other side
[VERSE 2]
What a blessing it is when chains fall away
And joy greets us every new day
Oh, when the love of God floods our hearts
It spills over to those who caused our scars
[CHORUS]
We can walk in wholeness and healing
When we choose forgiveness
Not just off’ring it to others
But accepting the grace God gives us
When we give and receive His mercy
We leave brokenness behind
We tear down the walls our past has built
And find freedom on the other side
[BRIDGE]
Freedom to share and accept God’s love
Freedom to live in peace
Freedom to stand before Him redeemed
That’s what it means….. to be free, free indeed
[CHORUS]
We can walk in wholeness and healing
When we choose forgiveness
Not just off’ring it to others it to others
But accepting the grace God gives us
When we give and receive His mercy
We leave brokenness behind
We tear down the walls our past has built
And find freedom on the other side….
Freedom on the other side
