 FORGIVE

"Forgive and it shall be forgiven you",
Instructions by God’s own Son.
Whatever wrongs someone may do,
We’re to forgive them every one.
When someone offends us, treating us bad,
We tend to flare up and fight;
But as we look back at times we’ve had,
When we weren’t living right;
Then we see our wrongs and our own sin,
As we’ve stumbled along life’s way.
How many times have we hurt a friend,
And we still slip and fall today.
So, when we see the sins of our brother,
Surely no stones can we cast;
For how can we not forgive one another
When God has forgiven our past?
May we forgive as we’ve been forgiven,
"Seventy times seven a day"-
Then our hearts will be in tune with heaven
As God leads us on our way.

"Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you"
(Ephesians. 4:32)
