"GOD GAVE ME A HEART TO FORGIVE" BY LORETTA LYNN IN HER BOOK- HONKY TONK GIRL- "MY LIFE IN LYRICS"

JUDICA me, Deus, et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta: ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me.

DO me justice, O God, and fight my fight against a faithless people; from the deceitful and impious man rescue me.

AMEN

"GOD GAVE ME A HEART TO FORGIVE"

WRITTEN BY LORETTA LYNN WITH BOB CUMMINGS AND BARBARA CUMMINGS

RELEASE DATE 1966

ALBUM - YOU AIN'T WOMAN ENOUGH TO TAKE MY MAN


IT'S MIDNIGHT NOW AND I'M STILL ALL ALONE,

IT'S ALWAYS LATE EACH NIGHT WHEN YOU COME HOME.

I STAY AND TAKE EACH HEARTACHE THAT YOU GIVE,

'CAUSE GOD GAVE ME A HEART TO FORGIVE.

YOU HURT ME AS MUCH AS YOU CAN,

THEN YOU TELL THAT YOU'RE JUST WEAK LIKE ANY OTHER MAN.

STILL, YOU'RE THE ONLY REASON THAT I LIVE,

AND GOD GAVE ME A HEART TO FORGIVE.

GUESS I COULD CALL THESE TEARS MY CLOSEST FRIENDS,

THEY STAY WITH ME 'TIL YOU COME HOME AGAIN.

YOU'VE BROUGHT ME EVERY MISERY THAT THERE IS,

BUT GOD GAVE ME A HEART TO FORGIVE.

YOU HURT ME AS MUCH AS YOU CAN,

THEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU'RE JUST WEAK LIKE ANY OTHER MAN.

STILL YOU'RE THE ONLY REASON THAT I LIVE,

AND GOD GAVE ME A HEART TO FORGIVE.


LORETTA LYNN

**************************************************************************


I TOO MUST SAY ABOUT MY OWN LIFE, THAT I FORGAVE AND FORGAVE, INDIVIDUALS AND ONE SMALL GROUP AFTER ANOTHER THAT GREW LARGER EACH TIME WHEN ALL ALONG UNTOLD - I WAS ALSO FORGIVING MY OWN GOVERNMENT, AMERICA, ALL AWHILE BEING HARMED AND WRONGED AGAIN, AND STILL FORGIVING OVER AND OVER

AS ALL MUST AND DO DO. FORGIVE EACH OTHER, FORGIVE INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS OF OUR OWN NATION TO BETTER OUR OWN COUNTRY, FORGIVE AND HELP THEM SEE THE WRONGS OF THEIR WAYS, AND HELP THEM CHANGE FOR THE BETTER OF OUR COUNTRY AND MANKIND.

GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS. HE ALSO SO LOVED MANKIND THAT HE CREATED GIVING US THE ABILITY TO REPRODUCE, HE GAVE THE BASICS AND ALL THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE FROM THERE, AS HE IS NOT A DISCRIMINATING GOD, HE SO LOVETH EVERY COLOR AND EVERYONE, REPRODUCING IS WHAT HE WANTED MANKIND TO DO, FOR MAN TO FILL IN THE GAPS OF HIS COLOR WHEEL, HOW ELSE ARE/WAS WE TO HAVE EVERY SHADE OF HUMAN THAT THERE IS, WITH EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ONE AND ALL, IN THIS GRAND NATION OF OURS - AMERICA.

THE LONGER IT TAKES FOR THEM TO TURN IT AROUND ON YOU AS IF YOU ARE THE ONE SO WRONG, THE RIGHTER YOU WERE ALL ALONG.
