Today I failed
Not at the big things, that make my heart beat faster
But at the seemingly small things, that fill my days
Failure, is just a word
But it scares even the most fearless
And it trembles the hardest of hearts
But failure is just a word
It is not an action, or a verb
Just a word
But it is a word that carries meaning
It carries weight and fear
It can sometimes even become our identity
There is just one thing we must remember
We can forgive and be forgiven
From our failures and our fear of failure
I call this failure through forgiving eyes
Not just forgiving ourselves
But God forgiving us
Yes, failure carries weight
But forgiveness is weightlessness
When we forgive and are forgiven
Our lives reveal that grace
Oh, sweet grace, is our lifeline
It is saving grace
That gives us forgiving eyes
To see every failure and every fear of failure
As forgiven
Failure through forgiving eyes
