Forgiveness

In a sinful world where every thing's wrong Stones are cast Ands strike the ground. My face is beat, All eyes gaze on me, But with what little strength remains, I look toward the Heavens. The light has dawned Light has shown Only you, I've ever known. You gave me peace, Unfailing love, Now it's time to leave this world He ascends me from the crowed While my body remains on the ground. I did what you said; I obeyed, But They never listened . . . I was persecuted, Beat, Stoned to death All for my Lord God in Heaven In a perfect place where nothings wrong Golden stones Pave the road. As I take a stroll, I look down To see those who stoned me To the ground A grudge I do not bear For my heart is placid, Filled with God's loved And Forgiveness.
