“The Lord’s Prayer” Poem 15
Forgive, forgive I asked God to forgive me And just like that He me forgave, washed clean But then somebody Hurt me very deeply I wanted to Say lectures of my hurt “I might forgive But only if that person First knows how very deeply I am hurt They must experience My sorrow, anguish In great remorse then Ask me to forgive They must do this Or that and only maybe I might forgive But still a great wall build” But this is not How God my debts forgave He did not give me Lectures of my sin He did not say You must do this or that And only then I will You then forgive He did not say I will forgive, but still You must be punished For your great big sin All of my debt All of my sin, and shame Was placed of Jesus He paid all of it When I remembered this And thought of this My sin was great Yet God it just forgave How can I not Forgive what others did Forgive like Christ Forgave all of my sin Forgive our debts As we forgive our debts You taught us this Lord, help us to forgive 12/3/2023
