FORGIVENESS

 

I don’t have to look too far

To see the wrong I’ve done

But I know that God’s forgiven

The entire total sum

The thing that really grieves me deep

Is to see the partial way

That friends sometimes forgive

The silly things I say

We’re all prone to make mistakes

And I the most of all

But when you see this, don’t forget

You’re also prone to fall

So when I come with contrite heart

To offer my repentance

Don’t presume and act as judge

And pass on me your sentence

More than needing grace from you

It’s you that needs to give it

If you don’t forgive the entire sum

From God you won’t receive it

So not just the words I might have said

But the reasons that let it be

And my character that gave it space

The entire sum you see

We pray for God’s forgiveness

As we forgive each other

Remember this when you ask

God’s grace your sins to cover
