A song about unforgiveness and what it does to us. Holding a grudge feels like justice, but it poisons the heart and drains the joy out of life. If Jesus forgave the ones who nailed Him to the cross, who are we to hold on? Forgiveness costs, but without it we forget how to live.
Carry the Grudge lyrics
We say we've healed, but the wound still speaks A whisper of anger that cuts so deep Years go by, but the fire remains Silent prisons built from blame It poisons the heart, it chains the soul We lose ourselves when we don't let go We carry the grudge like it keeps us alive But it's killing the joy, it's bleeding us dry Forgiveness costs more than we want to give But without it we forget how to live We replay the words like a broken song Holding to the right, but living wrong The weight gets heavier every day Till love can't breathe and hope decays It feels like justice to hold the knife But mercy cuts deeper, it gives back life If He forgave the nails and scars Then who are we to hold this far We carry the grudge like it keeps us alive But it's killing the joy, it's bleeding us dry Forgiveness costs more than we want to give But without it we forget how to live Without it… we forget how to live
