Forgiveness Virtue
Lest my human part be of mind deceived
To err is human, to forgive divine
Of many stresses of mind, soul relieved
Of my heart my soul and mind be refined!
I be not deceived my God be not mocked
To err is human, to forgive divine
I will do the talk as I do the walk
First Adam fell from divine into time!
Judgment schedule is to run it’s full course
To err is human, to forgive divine
In time I must learn that love is my source
To learn that divine love is my life line!
Forgiveness virtue relieves judged voice
To err is human, to forgive divine
To forgive is divine it is my choice
Toward love’s nature I lean in recline
He that loves not knows not, my God is Love
To err is human, to forgive divine
We must be partakers of the above
As we live divine is the one lifeline!
The lust of the flesh is the pride of life
To err is human, to forgive divine
Lust of the eyes reveals not life, but strife
The source love is nature of heaven’s wine!
Let us forgive of love’s nature and live
To err is human, to forgive divine
Judgment died on the cross, that love could give
Love hath relieved mind’s self of the death whine!
