Forgiveness

Forgiveness, precious gift of God.

Forgiveness, promised in his word.

Jesus paid the price, became the sacrifice,

when he laid down his life for me on Calvary.
~
For so long I’d spurned God’s grace; hiding from his face.

But in his mercy he opened up his arms and drew me in.

When I was lost, undone, with nowhere else to run,

I found forgiveness and now have peace within.

Forgiveness, precious gift to me.

Forgiveness, God’s love pardoned me.

Jesus cleansed within, my heart so stained with sin,

when I reached out and took the gift he offered me.
~

For so long I’d spurned God’s grace; hiding from his face.

But in his mercy he opened up his arms and drew me in.

When I was lost, undone, with nowhere else to run,

I found forgiveness and now have peace within.

Forgiveness, precious gift to share.

Forgiveness, answer to my prayer.

Jesus gave to me, such joy, such victory,

when I learned to forgive as he forgiveth me.
