Linkin Park - What I've done

 LINKIN PARK - WHAT I'VE DONE

In this farewell

There's no blood

There's no alibi

'Cause I've drawn regret

From the truth

Of a thousand lies

So let mercy come

And wash away...

What I've done

I'll face myself

To cross out what I've become

Erase myself

And let go of what I've done

Put to rest

What you thought of me

While I clean this slate

With the hands

Of uncertainty

So let mercy come

And wash away...

What I've done

I'll face myself

To cross out what I've become

Erase myself

And let go of what I've done

For What I've done

I'll start again

And whatever pain may come

Today this ends

I'm forgiving what I've done

I'll face myself

To cross out what I've become

Erase myself

And let go of what I've done

What I've done

Forgiving what I've done

This song speaks of the feelings of guilt that accumulate as we live our lives, often meaning well, but finding out the truth that we live, is based on a thousand lies. There is a deep longing for spiritual forgiveness, from our Creator, from the God who is totally righteous.  We all long for mercy to wash away, and cleanse us from the mistakes and sins of our lives. 

Good news can be found 'At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, decieved and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us , not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Saviour, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.' Titus 3:3-7
