Secret to forgiveness

A lonely man        cold and alone      walks down a sidewalk      far from home             

His heart aches      for what he threw away     his wife and son    his loyalty astray

Feeling all the weight of his guilt and sin

He stands at a toy store and just stares in

                                                                                      Chorus

Could the secret to forgiveness             be inside these walls?

Is there something inside               to help me be forgiven of it all?

Doesn’t matter of the price        I’m ready to pay

I just want to make it right      on this Christmas day

V2

The broken man      comes upon     a festive church        with its lights on

A manger scene        Jesus lying there       tears fall       so much regret to bear

Feeling all the weight of his guilt and sin

He stands at the church door and just stares in

                                                                                      Chorus

Could the secret to forgiveness             be inside these walls?

Is there something inside               to help me be forgiven of it all?

Doesn’t matter of the price        I’m ready to pay

I just want to make it right       on this Christmas day

                                                                     Bridge

An old man asks won’t you come on in      your family is inside will you join them

                                                                                      Chorus

The secret to forgiveness             is inside these walls

There is someone inside               who will forgive you of it all

Let me teach you the price           Jesus already paid

It all started years ago      on this Christmas day
