Forgive, Forgive

Forgive us our debts
As we forgive our debtors
Forgiveness
It’s a very touchy subject

We want the people
That have done us wrong
To suffer 
Feel the pain that we have suffered

Forgive them? 
And release them from their debt?
Lord don’t You know
How much from them we suffered!

“They first remorseful must be, 
Beg forgiveness
Then they must know
Each detail of our hurt”

Or so we think
And secretly wish often
Forgetting how much God
Forgave us too

Lord, when we came to You
You us forgave 
You did not sit us first and give us lectures
Of how our sin so deeply You did hurt

You us forgave, forgave
Released our debt
You want us also
To release offenses 

Forgive us Lord
That we forgive so slowly
Give us the grace Lord
To forgive like Christ
