Forgiveness… is a word of power
For it gives us peace; within our soul
It is God’s gift; a release from anger
its cleansing power allows us to grow
It allows us to see a new future
Unrestrained by the injustice of our past
To look beyond the emotions we are feeling
To know… the hurt will not last
We move forward; we are guided by His presence
We sense… His hand upon our breast
We know He cries with each and every heartbeat
He is present; through our anger and distress
He hears the words we cry out before him
Our anger; He deflects with His hand
For He knows our weakness is emotion
For He created us in His image; we are man
He… forgives us on a daily basis
Through mere words asking for His grace
He loves us; He never abandons
He loves us; though we daily make mistakes
Forgiveness… is such a gift of power
Forgiveness… is needed by every man
He forgives us; as we forgive each other
Forgiven; I’m sheltered within His hands
