Contemporary Christian duo Shane and Shane have released That’s How You Forgive as the carrier single of their new release, Bring Your Nothing, available across the USA and internationally in digital and CD formats via Fair Trade Services.
That’s How You Forgive was one of seven songs recorded by the duo in 22-acre property in Texas that they purchased and converted into a studio. They holed themselves up in the 22-acre property and basically spent a week creating music there, alongside other artists from other bands, including Jason Hoard (Third Day), Tyler Chester (Fiction Family), Josh Moore (Caedmon’s Call) and Shane & Shane’s drummer, Joey Parish. They recorded their songs live in one room.
The creative process shows itself in the naked truth in That’s How You Forgive. There’s a certain intensity to the song, a clear and bold passion that is unlike most studio recordings from Shane and Shane I’ve ever heard. Listening to the drums, in particular, there’s an urgency that I couldn’t put my finger on, but clearly, there’s something special in the instrumentation given this song’s gospel message of forgiveness, gratitude, and praise. Some fans criticize the production, saying this new recording lacks the acoustic rawness of previous releases, and yeah, maybe it does – I listened to the review and agree it’s not as raw as previous recordings – but that’s growth. I think it’s brilliant.
That’s How You Forgive is now rising up the Christian Soft AC/Inspo charts, and could very well be the duo’s next Top 10 hit.
THAT’S HOW YOU FORGIVE Lyrics
Shane and Shane
Gracious slow to anger
Abounding in love
Good to all
All who call upon you
You will rescue and forgive
This is why I live
You lived the life I could never live
You died the death that I deserve
You rose to life and now you live
That’s how you fogive
Forgive me in your mercy
I’m unworthy of your love
And I’m running back to all I have
In you my gracious king
This is why I sing
You lived the life I could never live
You died the death that I deserve
You rose to life and now you live
That’s how you fogive
(x2)
The measure of your love
That you came and died for us
Let us not forget
That’s how you forgive
You lived the life I could never live
You died the death that I deserve
You rose to life and now I live
You lived the life I could never live
You died the death that I deserve
You rose to life and now you live
That’s how you forgive
The measure of your love
That you came and died for us
Let us not forget
That’s how you forgive
The measure of your love
That you came and died for us
Let us not forget
That’s how you forgive
You forgive
You forgive
