Forgiveness

Forgive Others as well as Yourself

With the Lord there is forgiveness for you,
And your spirit he will bless and renew;
To the Lord belong forgiveness and grace,
And He will give you His sweet embrace;
But when you sinned and have remorse,
God asks that you pray to stay the course;
Bless God's Holy name with your heart,
Bless the Lord on how great thou art;
He forgives all of my sins when I query,
To relieve my soul from all the worry;
When you pray with cause against another,
Pardon them and be forgiven by our Father;
Forgive them for not knowing what they do,
Your compassion might change their view;
Forgiving of your debt as well as a debtor,
Renews your spirit to make you feel better;
Forgiving more is to experience more love,
Forgiving more to feel blessed from above;
It's not just once or twice but 70 times 7,
Ensure a clean slate to prepare for Heaven.
