Amanda Lobley - Love From a Distance Lyrics

Some have ill intention
But you love them just the same
'cause bitterness will destroy your soul
Others love you deeply but hurt you
You forgive them 'cause you love them
Just because someone hurt you
Doesn't mean they meant to
Just because you feel betrayed
Doesn't mean you actually were
Rightly was it said forgive
Seventy times seven
Let not bitterness steal your heart
Let not pain destroy your soul
Your love, kindness
Hope and beauty
Just because someone hurt you
Doesn't mean they meant to
Just because you feel betrayed
Doesn't mean you actually were
Some leave 'cause they want to
Others leave because they love you
And never confuse the two
Some people you will lose
While others you will love
From a distance
Don't ever hate the ones you love
Revenge is not worth the cost
Of getting back all that was lost
And do not trust your enemies
But forgive them just the same
And don't ever view
The friends who hurt you
As an enemy who loathes you
Some are hurt by ill intent
Some are hurt by love undying
And never confuse the two
The ones who truly love you
Are worth your love eternally
Yet God says forgive
Even your enemies
Some who you forgive are your friends
Just because someone hurt you
Doesn't mean they meant to
Just because you feel betrayed
Doesn't mean you actually were
So you love them
From a distance
