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.
