Cory Asbury and Corey Kent - My Inheritance

I knew he loved his whiskey
I knew he loved his wine
But I was never quite sure if he loved me
And I always wondered why
I didn't want his money
Lord knows he didn't have much
Maybe this guitar he gave me was his "I believe in you, son"

I didn't get forgiveness for the smallest of things
But I got who he was and who I didn't want to be
And God I'm thankful for the beauty in the mess
I wouldn't be the man I am today
I guess that's my inheritance

Ain't much of nothin' that I didn't try
Looking for love in every wrong place
Didn't make it right
I hurt a lotta people 'cause hurt people hurt
Sayin' sorry when you ain't sorry, man, it never works

I didn't get forgiveness for the smallest of things
But I got who he was and who I didn't want to be
And God I'm thankful for the beauty in the mess
I wouldn't be the man I am today
I guess that's my inheritance

I ran like hell to Jesus
Didn't know what else to do
He showed me His hands and He said
Son, I did this for you
And you'll be a daddy like you never knew
'Cause I take broken things and make 'em new

And I got forgiveness for the smallest of things
And I got who He was and who I wanted to be
God I'm thankful You saw beauty in this mess
It made me the man I am today
I guess that's my inheritance
That's my inheritance
