Forgive Or Not

In my travels along the way
Words like "I forgive you" are a hard thing to say

How can I forgive, what I think they've done
Then I think of the prayer from God's Most Holy Son

If I want forgiveness for my sins today
Then I too must grant the same to those along my way

You know these words and you know from Whom
Forgive them Father, they know not what they do!

If you're at a loss as to what to do
Then ask the Lord, what He would, if He were you!
