Kevin LeVar delivers this touching, inspirational ballad with even more emotion than he displayed on his prior single, “You Are Not Alone,” perhaps because the topic hits closer to home.
The vocalists of One Sound sit out “A Heart That Forgives,” as LeVar solos with delicate piano accompaniment. It’s a prayer for the gift of forgiveness, as well as an acknowledgement that it isn’t easy to forgive, especially “when the ones that are closest, that I’ve known the longest, hurt me the most.” But “the heart that forgives is the one that will live,” LeVar sings, and during the conclusion, LeVar is committed to scrubbing “every single hurt” from his mind, body and soul.
