lyrics

Freely Forgive

“My greatest healing has come after and because of forgiveness. Sometimes I realize a new level of hurt and have to forgive all over again. It starts with admitting to myself who and what I need to forgive and then in my mind writing a check made out to that person out of my own checking account to pay for the damages that they caused. The real freedom comes when I realize that my checking account is being perpetually replenished with the forgiveness that God has and continues to show to me. Because He forgave me first, I have the capacity and ‘funds’ to forgive others.” – Esther Tester

Forgive our sins as we forgive
You taught us, Lord to pray
But You alone can grant us grace
To live the words we say
To live the words we say

How can Your pardon reach and bless
The unforgiving heart
That broods on wrongs and will not let
Old bitterness depart
Old bitterness depart

You freely forgave, so we forgive
We freely forgive our brothers
You freely forgave, so we forgive
We freely forgive our sisters
O-o-oh, o-o-oh

In blazing light Your cross reveals
The truth we dimly knew
What trivial debts are owed to us
How great our debt to You
How great our debt to You

Lord cleanse the depths within our souls
And bound resentment cease
Then bound to all in bonds of love
Our lives will spread Your peace
Our lives will spread Your peace

(Repeat Chorus 2x)
