God's Forgiveness Is Free

Greetings to you in Jesus name, who gave me love to love Offering himself for my sins to save me by grace above Delightsome is the joy of friends, take peace from forgiveness So your soul may heal. I pray for you always happiness. Frankly told my heart burns gold where yours burn cold Omissions and silence were better than fumes of words Rotten and relentless that distressed me for promise sold Greedily. It was the disrespect that was like galled swords Infected with disease. The rest I did not even internalize Vectors like flies will pitch where you let them, self value Exist because we want it: no trivia delays me of the prize Never lost any sleep by it, I know to whom I must be true Enemies exist only for those who the world for grace hate Sweet the assurance to bear these battle scars of faith Sweeter yet that I bear no vengeance, neither bitterness. Infer then that I forgave you and also shared your shame Suffering when I think of borne down by the burden of blame Freely accept my pardon, love must still suffer long here Regrets are not for the humble, my choice remains changeless Emmanuel is God with us and I in him shall not despair Even if everybody tomorrow abandon the chains of righteousness.
