Forgiveness

So I had this really funny post being written but I guess I have something more important to talk about - forgiveness.

I know that I've been preachy lately but there were good reasons behind it - but today I have a different message. I was sitting at a concert tonight - Tyrone Wells - and it was absolutely amazing - but the final song he sang as an encore. He turned off the mic and stepped out of the spot light to sing right in front of us. He sang a song about giving forgiveness because you never know what your life will be tomorrow and if you die and walk over a bridge - who would you want to be waiting there for you. I don't' want to go through life angry - that's just not who I am.... and it really hit home - bringing tears to my eyes because it's so true, I'm going to put all the lyrics down below but check out Tyrone Wells because all of his music is amazing and inspired - I went on Itunes right away and bought a ton of it. I honestly pray that I remain with this mind set. I don't want to regress. I've really been thinking about this topic since Wednesday - on Ash Wednesday the gospel and homily was all about forgiveness and I knew I would eventually write a post about this but Tyrone pushed me to. Before the concert began I got to meet him because I am a part of the group that sponsored him coming to our campus and his is such a sweet, genuine person - as well as an amazing person. So now I will leave you with his amazing and inspiring words.

When all is said and done
And I'm looking back upon this race I've run
And when my heart gives in
I know you'll be beside me precious friend
It's just the same from the beginning to the end
When all is said and done

And if I lose my way
And I wander down this open road for days
And if the sun should fall
And the dancing we once did becomes a crawl
Let the momories move like shadows on the wall
If I lose my way

When I'm coming home
And I walk across the brisge of death alone
I will fix my eyes on the one whos waiting at the other side
It's my old friend with countless others there beside
When I'm coming home
When I'm coming home

When all is said and done
And I'm looking back upon this race I've run
And when my heart gives in
I know you'll be beside me precious friend
It's just the same from the beginning to the end
When all is said and done
When all is said and done
