Forgiveness

To show forgiveness! Jesus came
Christ died that mercy, live
Yet still we perish in our shame
Because we don’t forgive

A grudge, can only lead to hate
Such hate is Satan’s tool
Don’t nurse a grudge to share his fate
Don’t be the tempter’s fool

That’s what the devil loves to do
Feed hatred deep within
If he can do the same to you
Then sickness; can begin

The vicious circle’s then complete
Death’s race, has now begun
Now only love can bring defeat
By grace of Christ God’s Son

Forgiveness; comes from God on high
When Jesus comes to live
Then all our hate will start to die
As soon as we forgive

For hate is weak! Where love is strong
As Jesus taught the few
“Forgive each one who does you wrong
As God does unto you”

Forgiveness! Is the golden rule
Where love is God’s command
Obedience; life’s eternal pool
God’s healing to the land

To show our love we must forgive
No matter what the cost
Then with the Lord we too can live
And nought but pride is lost…
