Forgive

Forgive,

The scripture seemed to read

As once again I looked.

Forgive,

The scripture clearly read

Annoyed I closed the book.

Forgive,

The Spirit softly said

Started, I did fear

Forgive,

The Spirit louder spoke

I pretended not to hear

Forgive,

The Savior said to me

I quickly quested; Why?

Forgive,

The Savior said again

"For this I came to die".

Then bitterly I cried out

How can thou know my pain,

The wounds that I have suffered

My tears that fell like rain!

Then quietly he spoke my name

And said, "I understand".

Reached out that he may lift me

With wounds in both his hands.

Ashamed, I said how can I?

He reminded me again

"For he who will not forgive,

In him lies the greater sin".

Forgive,

The scripture seemed to read

As once again Looked,

Forgive,

The scripture clearly said

I then embraced the book!

Forgive,

The Spirit softly spoke,

Now I did not fear,

Forgive,

The Spirit louder spoke

Once deaf, I now could hear.

Forgive,

The Savior said to me,

"To you this gift I give".

Forgive,

The Savior said again,

"For this I came to live".
