Forgive like Christ forgives

Where once the heart was heavy, now it learns to be free,
To forgive as Christ forgives, with grace and purity.
Mercy falls in the shadow of the cross,
Where love redeems what once was lost.
Show the grace that heals our deepest scars,
The love that mends, though we have strayed so far.
As He bled beneath the gray skies,
His love unbroken, though betrayed, it dies
But in the breaking, He is reborn,
Not as the world forgives, with fleeting scorn.
Forgive as Christ forgave, with hands that heal,
Touching wounds that time could never seal.
A soul set free in silent prayer,
Not bound by shame but lifted in care.
Holy is the blessing, a river flowing wide,
A stream of grace that will never run dry.
To lift the weight, to roll the stone,
To love above all, hate, to make His heart your own.
For when your spirit aches the most,
Remember Him, who bore your sin and loss.
Then, under the shelter of His endless grace,
Forgive as He forgives, with love’s embrace.
Let mercy reign, let your heart be whole,
For forgiveness is the healing of the soul.
