Matthew West – Story Behind the Song “Forgiveness” (Video)

This is the story behind the song “Forgiveness” by Matthew West. They played this video at the Johnny Hunt’s Men’s Conference 2015. (#JHMC2015). This video is about a story of forgiveness. Forgiveness was the theme of the Johnny Hunt’s Men’s Conference 2015. I will share my second experience in a post coming up.

This is the part 1 of the video. They only played part 1 at the conference. I knew after seeing this video I had to share it. Forgiveness is something that’s on my heart because this is something very serious and want to share it with others. Check out my blog post on forgiveness.

Also if you know Matthew West, he writes songs about issues people face and helps to offer encouragement and hope to others through those songs. Renee Napier is the one who wrote Matthew West and he then came up with the song “Forgiveness”.

I wanted to share the lyrics to my readers too. So those are below.

This song by Matthew West is one of my favorites by him. I think that is because forgiveness is on my heart for a message. I hope that the song and the story behind the song can encourage you and make have you look more into forgiving. This blog post showed part 1 and the link above will take you to part 2.

The pull quote by  by Lewis B. Smedes which also kind of recaps part of the lyrics from Matthew West’s song.
