With the Pope's passing the weekend, I was reminded the of when he forgave the man who shot him years ago. Steve Taylor wrote a song about it, and I'm going to post it on here today. I've upleaded the song on herre too, so if you click the following link, you should be able to hear it, or just read the words if you want. It's a bit 80's sounding, but hey, it's from the 80's so I guess that's okay. It's still a song I like from one of my all time favorite artist. (You can read more about the Pope forgiving the man who shot his here as well.
I saw a man
He was holding the hand
That had fired a gun at his heart
Oh, will we live
To forgive?
I saw the eyes
And the look of surprise
As he left an indelible mark
Oh, will we live
To forgive?
Come...
Find release
Go...
Make your peace
Follow his lead
Let the madness recede
When we shatter the cycle of pain
Oh, we will live
To forgive
Come...
Find release
Go...
Make your peace
I saw a man
With a hole in His hand
Who could offer the miracle cure
Oh, He said live
I forgive
Oh, He said live
To forgive
