La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
Verse:
How long will I wait? How long must I pay? I can't get past the things I've done and
guilt I have. I've made mistakes that I can't take back. How long will these ghosts live?
I can't, I can't, why can't I be forgiven?
Chorus:
Please forgive me. (4X)
Bridge:
I've tried to numb my mind and erase, but memories always stay. Can I ever be forgiven?
Bridge:
I can't stay here in this place of shame and fear. I've got to think even I could be
forgiven.
Chorus:
I want to be forgiven, will you please forgive me?
I want to be forgiven, will you please forgive me?
Outro:
I need to be forgiven. Will you please forgive me?
