Tornado - By Sara Groves
You live your life like a tornado • Destruction follows everywhere you go • And you have no plans to stop or slow oh • I will not let this bitter root grow in me • I will not let you leave that legacy • But it gets so hard when pain is all I see oh • •

Every time I find healing you're making a new mess • And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness • •

And I tried to remove myself from your path • But I keep waking up in the aftermath • So I pick up again and say I won't look back oh •

And I will not let you leave that legacy • But this constant fight is breaking me oh •

Every time I find healing you're making a new mess • And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness • •

And it hurts when you hit at the hearts of the ones I love • When everything you touch is rumble and dust • And it gets so hard to know how to trust •
But I will not let that bitter root grow • I will not let it no no • But it gets so hard oh • •

Every time I find healing you're making a new mess • And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness •

And I could move and never send you a forwarding address • Or I could learn the real meaning of forgiveness • •

Wow...it's amazing to serve The One who can make it possible to choose forgiveness rather than bitterness, Who can bring healing in the aftermath. Thank you, Jesus. I'm so glad my heart is in your hands

Iris, how come when I click on your name it takes me to your profile, but I can't open your blog?

That would be because I didn't list my blog as "public" or whatever. You can get there from Rhonda's site...she put a link to mine. I'll email you the address.

Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't really mean it. It was all just a big misunderstanding.

P.S. Hopefully this is old enough that not many people will read it.
