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.
