I lay here in the blackened night bitterness in my heart Feeling it grow stronger as l slowly die away But Jesus told me let it go and let it die I paid for that brothers wrongs with My life I remember the day so clearly l was hurt and at my low Some wrong words said, and man l was dead With pain I'd never know But Jesus told me let it go and let it die I paid for that brothers wrongs with My life And then He told me let it go and let it die... You got to forgive or you'll die inside I justified my angry life each and every day But as time went on, His Spirit was gone Alone and bitter and my God so far away But Jesus told me let it go and let it die I paid for that brothers wrongs with My life And then he told me let go let it die You got to forgive, you got to forgive You got to forgive or you'll die inside You got to forgive, you got to forgive You got to forgive or you'll die inside Let it go Let it die
